| Summary: | 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.

However, it was distinct in how bottom-up processes evolved into a centrally organized, programmatic movement with concrete policy demands. This text analyzes how traditional mass 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. |
