Abstract

The rapid use of Instagram and the emergence of nano-micro influencers and the Bookstagram community are the background to this research, also focusing on the low interest in reading in Indonesia. In realizing reading behavior, their role in virtual space becomes urgent in providing information literacy. This study aims to explore the experiences of nano-micro Bookstagram influencers in maximizing the use of Instagram to increase interest in reading. This study will discuss how the phenomenon of reading interest in Indonesia is interpreted, the characteristics of their followers, and the strategies and techniques used to attract attention and increase audience engagement. The method used is qualitative research with a cyberphenomenology approach, where data was collected through in-depth interviews with 16 Indonesian nano-micro Bookstagram influencers, and data analysis followed Moustakas' 10 techniques. The results of the study provide an overview of internal and external factors that influence people's interest in reading, as well as typification of follower characteristics, such as learner followers, book recommendation collectors, and followers with positive attitudes. By utilizing Instagram features such as Reels, carousel post formats, Instagram Stories, Highlights, Shares, and Channels creatively, these influencers can increase interaction and expand their influence.

Abstract

Abstract Reading activities have shifted to social media platforms. Despite Indonesia having a low reading habit worldwide, it is expanding rapidly among millennial and Gen Z bookstagrammers. This study explores the meaning of ‘reading buddy’, motivations for engaging in virtual ‘reading buddy’ activities, emotional intimacy, habits and continuity of virtual communication with reading buddy partners. Using a cyberphenomenology approach, this study involved in-depth, semi-structured interviews with ten (10) Indonesian millennials and Z generation bookstagrammers by applying Barry Wellman's Networked Individualism Theory. This study's cyberphenomenology data analysis technique refers to the coding colour analysis procedure (CCAP). The study results show that a reading buddy is interpreted as a friend who reads books together, a sharing friend, and community outreach activities. It is known that the shift in social interaction from groups to individuals has opened up opportunities for virtual community bookstagrammers on Instagram to create interests that are appropriate for personal networks. In the reading buddy activities carried out, this is believed to enrich the reading experience while improving communication and literacy skills. Instagram is essential in positively impacting interpersonal relationships, personal development, and individual knowledge, especially among the younger generation who like to read books.
