Media, Mobilization and the Umbrella Movement

Comprising a series of high-quality contributions which examine various aspects of the media-movement nexus, this book analyses media communications during the 2014 Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong. Covering subjects including the mobilizing and informing power of mass and digital media, young activists’ digital media strategies, and local and international media coverage of the movement, the contributors offer fresh insights into the roles of media and communication in one of the most internationally prominent large-scale occupation campaigns in recent years. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Chinese Journal of Communication.
