Resumo

As redes sociais são uma das ferramentas mais utilizadas pelas entidades de fact-checking para divulgar suas verificações. Embora o Instagram ganhou destaque e relevância nos últimos anos, esse não é o caso dos estudos sobre a atividade dos verificadores nessa rede. Esta pesquisa busca caracterizar a atividade dos fact-checkers ibero-americanos no Instagram com base no conteúdo que gerou maior taxa de interação. Foi realizada uma análise de conteúdo quantitativa das postagens de maior interação publicadas durante o ano de 2021, pelos verificadores ibero-americanos que fazem parte da Aliança Internacional de Checagem de Fatos (IFCN, na sigla em inglês), resultando em uma amostra de 301 postagens. Os resultados mostram que o conjunto de fact-checkers mantiveram uma frequência de publicação bastante estável ao longo de 2021. Considerando a intenção das postagens, observa-se que publicaram principalmente verificações (72,8%) e, conforme o tema, conteúdo político (39,5%). Com respeito ao tema, as publicações sobre racismo são as que obtêm melhor taxa de interação (12%), enquanto, em termos de formato, o álbum atinge uma taxa substancialmente maior do que imagens ou vídeos.
