Resumen

La transformación digital del periodismo impulsada por su presencia en plataformas como Instagram. Esto evidencia nuevas formas narrativas caracterizadas por la hipertextualidad, la multimedialidad y la interactividad. El entorno digital contemporáneo reconfigura la relación entre los medios de comunicación, los sistemas de información y las audiencias. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo examinar e implementar estrategias para la distribución de contenido digital, como narrativas que incluyen hilos argumentales. De esta manera, el contenido puede convertirse en material viral con una penetración significativa en la audiencia. Por último, se aplica una metodología exploratoria-descriptiva para desarrollar un análisis utilizando el coeficiente de Pearson. Se correlacionan las variables de compromiso, seguidores, formatos, audiencias y contenido en 331 publicaciones de cinco medios de comunicación con presencia digital en Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Perú y México. Las principales conclusiones se refieren a estrategias adecuadas para generar compromiso, prevalencia y relevancia temática, y mecanismos digitales para reforzar la participación de la audiencia.
