Media and Protest Logics in the Digital Era: The Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong
Angebote / Angebote:
For 79 days in 2014, Hong Kong became the focus of international attention due to a public demonstration for genuine democracy that would become known as the Umbrella Movement.

This book analyzes how traditionalmass media institutions and digital media combined with on-the-ground networks in such a way as to propel citizen participation and the evolution of the movement as a whole.
