Abstract
Using fifteen years of newspaper content data and opinion polling data, we conduct time series analysis to investigate the relationship between media tone and public opinion polarization in Hong Kong. We examined the relationships using tones and attitudes toward HKSAR Government and local political organizations. Generally, we found a pattern of media tone responsive to public opinion polarization. The only exception is Apple Daily, which exerted influences on public opinion polarization.
