Resumen

La investigación en torno a las redes sociales y la democracia se ha disparado. Durante casi dos décadas, la investigación ha ofrecido nuevas teorías, revisado algunas teorías antiguas y proporcionado evidencia empírica que ha ayudado a arrojar luz sobre los efectos de las redes sociales en la vida social de las personas y la democracia en general. Gracias a las redes sociales, los ciudadanos consumen noticias, expresan sus opiniones políticas, discuten asuntos políticos y participan en actividades políticas. Sin embargo, las redes sociales también son un canal para la difusión de noticias falsas y desinformación, exposición a discursos de odio, fragmentación de los medios y polarización política. En resumen, las redes sociales parecen ser un trampolín tanto para resultados esperanzadores como indeseables que fomentan y desafían las democracias por igual. Uno de los fenómenos que se deriva de recibir las noticias por las redes sociales es la percepción de que "Las Noticias Me Encuentran" ("News Finds Me" o NFM en inglés), que ocurre cuando las personas sienten que ya no tienen que buscar noticias de forma activa para estar bien informadas sobre los asuntos públicos, pues esperan recibir noticias e información relevante por parte sus contactos en las redes sociales. Este artículo rastrea el origen de esta teoría, su evolución y el conjunto de efectos estudiados en la bibliografía. También presenta pautas para futuras investigaciones y desafíos potenciales a medida que la investigación centrada en NFM continúe creciendo.
