Abstract

A contextualized view of the volume and timing or news articles published between 1998 and 2020 strengthens the understanding of the news value and thematic relevance of the protests to Hong Kong–and western-based newspapers. The overview and discussion presented in this chapter anchors the findings and discussion that we present in Chap. 4.
