This article reviews the dynamic relationship between the media and the large-scale pro-democracy demonstrations in post-handover Hong Kong.

The media and interpersonal networks are found to play instrumental roles in facilitating large-scale demonstrations, resulting in a mode of self-mobilization. Media discourse helps legitimize collective action as a way for citizens to express their opinions. The huge turnout in demonstrations narrowed the political parallelism of Hong Kong media. The huge rallies and subsequent events lent importance to the interactions between public discourse and collective action in Hong Kong.
