Social media behavior during uprisings: Selective sharing and avoidance in the China (Hong Kong), Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon protests
Purpose This study examines the use of social media by individuals during protests in China (Hong Kong), Iraq, Iran, and Lebanon. Method Surveys in the four countries assess the relationship between people’s attitudes toward the protests and their selection bias on social media, manifested through selective sharing and selective avoidance. Findings Regardless of the different political and media systems in each country, social media usage was lar…
Selective exposure during uprisings: A comparative study of news uses in Chile, Hong Kong, Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon
In periods of political unrest, media habits change significantly, allowing for new patterns of selectivity. This study's main contribution lies in its application of selective exposure theory and its comparison of people's media uses in five Global South polities that witnessed widespread protests in 2019: Chile, Hong Kong, Iran, Iraq, and Lebanon. It examines the relationship between people's trust in the media and selective exposure at a globa…
Conditional impact of facebook as an information source on political opinions: The case of political reform in Hong Kong
This study is interested in the impact of Facebook as a source for political information on public opinion during political controversies. In a society where the mainstream media are under heavy influence by the dominant power and yet Internet communication is largely open and free, social media may become particularly important for the transmission of critical information and viewpoints. The social media information environment may exhibit an ov…
Social media and Umbrella Movement: Insurgent public sphere in formation
The study examines the role of social media during the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong that lasted from September to December 2014. By interviewing a random sample of 1011 respondents over the telephone before the end of the Umbrella Movement, it was found that social media had become an insurgent public sphere (IPS) in the protest movement. Data showed that acquisition of political news through social media was related positively to support for t…
Media literacy and information literacy: Similarities and differences
In knowledge society, there is currently a call for cultivating a combination of media literacy and information literacy. This, however, requires cooperation from these two separate fields of study, and uncertainty regarding their boundaries hinders a smooth merger. It is unclear whether they are subsets of each other or separate entities. In this study, we have explored the relationship between these two fields by empirically mapping out their t…
The rise of Asian communication research: A citation study of SSCI journals
This study addresses two research questions: whether interest in Asian communication has been growing over the past 20 years, and whether there is an increasing level of participation and growing contributions among Asian scholars in the field of communication. Using 23 communication journals in the SSCI database, we identify Asia-related journal article titles and count the number of authors of Asian origins. We find that both are clearly on the…
Professionalism, Politics and Market Force: Survey Studies of Hong Kong Journalists 1996–2006
A comparison of three surveys of Hong Kong journalists from 1996 to 2006 finds that media professionalism remains intact in spite of significant socio-political changes. However, the media's performance has been in doubt as reflected in credibility decline and rising self-censorship. Factors accounting for this apparent disjunction between professionalism and performance include the proliferation of journalism education, the entrenchment of press…
Through the Eyes of U.S. Media: Banging the Democracy Drum in Hong Kong
In the shadow of globalization, international newsmaking remains inherently ethnocentric, nationalistic, and even state-centered. Major U.S. media frame the transfer of Hong Kong from British to Chinese sovereignty in terms of four dominant ideological packages, that is, the United States (a) is a “new guardian” of Hong Kong (b) in an emerging cold war between the West and China, whereas Hong Kong will suffer from the erosion of freedom and democ…

One Event, Three Stories: Media Narratives of the Handover of Hong Kong in Cultural China
This article analyzes how the media from the People's Republic of China, Taiwan and Hong Kong constructed their respective narratives about the handover of Hong Kong - based on their institutional configurations, the relevance of the story to their home constituencies, their conventions of news-making and the cultural repertoire on which they drew to make the event intelligible. Domesticating a global media event reflects and reproduces each soci…
Symposium on Mass and Interpersonal Communication: Citation Patterns of Core Communication Journals An Assessment of the Developmental Status of Communication
This study employs the 1983–1985 data from Social Sciences Citation Index's Journal Citation Reports to examine citation linkages of 10 communication journals. Some newly developed citation indices, together with existing ones, are used to examine the citation characteristics of these journals. The citation patterns found in this study are consistent with Reeves and Borgman's findings. There are some indications of gradual development in the fiel…
