The clip offers a video ethnographic documentary of journalistis practices on Instagram (2021). It shows a screen recording of a visit to Instragram.com on a desktop computer, visiting three public news provider accounts from Austria, Switzerland and Germany.
The goal of the video is to document practices of news presentation in the media environment of Instagram. The three news site profiles are visited and browsed in sequence. First, the Austrian news site "Zeit im Bild" is visited, then the Swiss site „srfnews", then the German „tagesschau" site. On each page, the user scrolls to a specific news item dealing with a controversy related to the 2020 UEFA European Football Championship. Ahead of Germany's group match against Hungary on June 23, 2021, UEFA banned the illumination of the Allianz Arena in Munich in rainbow colors. The on-screen video shows this message in full view on all three Instagram pages.
