Resumo: | This political communication research analyzes the impact of digital media on public opinion in the context of the 2019 Hong Kong protests. It is a qualitative and interpretive study that observes how people participate in political discussions through social media. The survey aims to investigate the opinions and expressions surrounding the proposed theme, using a case study as a research strategy and adopting methods such as framing and qualitative content analysis. We questioned whether there was a spiral of silence on social media concerning the protests. To answer that, we manually analyzed 76 posts on the Facebook website of the South China Morning Post and 2,000 public comments. The theory of the spiral of silence points out that people retain their opinions when they think the climate of opinion is contrary to them, with silence increasing over time. However, this research on Facebook about the 2019 Hong Kong protests shows that a minority of opinion holders retained to speak. Besides that, people with minority views began to express their positions with time, interrupting the spiral. The research aimed to advance the ambiance for public political participation on social media by studying the media environment and media content. This unique background in the Hong Kong Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill movement has innovative significance, enriching empirical research on Eastern countries and providing new ideas for investigating non-campaign political participation in social media. |

Trata-se de um estudo qualitativo e interpretativo que observa como as pessoas participam de discussões políticas por meio das mídias sociais. A pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar as opiniões e expressões em torno do tema proposto, utilizando um estudo de caso como estratégia de pesquisa e adotando métodos como enquadramento e análise qualitativa de conteúdo. Questionamos se houve uma espiral de silêncio nas mídias sociais em relação aos protestos. Para responder a essa pergunta, analisamos manualmente 76 postagens na página do Facebook do South China Morning Post e 2.000 comentários públicos. A teoria da espiral de silêncio sugere que as pessoas tendem a reter suas opiniões quando percebem que a opinião pública é contrária a elas, e que o silêncio aumenta com o tempo. No entanto, esta pesquisa no Facebook sobre os protestos de Hong Kong em 2019 mostrou que uma minoria de detentores de opinião ficou em silêncio. Além disso, as pessoas com opiniões minoritárias começaram a expressar suas posições com o tempo, interrompendo a espiral. A pesquisa buscou avançar na compreensão da participação política pública nas mídias sociais, estudando o ambiente e o conteúdo das mídias. Esse contexto único no movimento do Projeto de Lei Anti-Extradição de Hong Kong tem um significado inovador, enriquecendo a pesquisa empírica sobre países orientais e fornecendo novas ideias para investigar a participação política não-eleitoral nas mídias sociais.Programa de Pós-Graduação em Comunicação da Universidade Federal Fluminense2024-04-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampo/article/view/5836910.22409/contracampo.v43i1.58369Contracampo; v. 43 n. 1 (2024): Temáticas Livres2238-25771414-748310.22409/contracampo.v43i1reponame:Contracampoinstname:Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)instacron:UFFporhttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampo/article/view/58369/36530Copyright (c) 2019 Luodan Pan, Arthur Ituassuhttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPan, LuodanItuassu, Arthur2024-04-30T21:40:19Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/58369Revistahttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampoPUBhttps://periodicos.uff.br/contracampo/oai||contracampo.uff@gmail.com2238-25771414-7483opendoar:2024-04-30T21:40:19Contracampo - Universidade Federal Fluminense (UFF)false |
