Abstract

This article reflects on the use of new network technologies by the independent communication and activist Mídia NINJA (Independent Narratives, Journalism and Action) as an alternative model of content management that uses the tripod: production, circulation and distribution. The research aims to understand how this model works and how it attracts the public. For that, the method used is netnography (a branch of Ethnography that analyzes the behavior of individuals and social groups on the internet and the dynamics of these groups in the online environment), to observe the dynamics of two groups of the Telegram of the Mídia NINJA (NINJASP and NINJADF) and the Instagram page of this alternative medium. We complemented the methodology with a semi-structured interview. It was found, through the analysis of the contents of the studied tools, that the new technologies of digital media as a production and distribution model used by the Mídia NINJA provokes in the public an interest in reading the contents of this medium, in addition to promoting participation and interaction.
