Abstract

This study investigates YouTube thumbnails to understand how different content creators have utilized framing and text-image relationship strategies to shape and disseminate meaning online during the 2019 Hong Kong protest. Around 498 video titles and their corresponding thumbnails were examined. The results indicate that media organizations mostly employed frames focusing on protest violence and reinforced this frame through the illustration strategy for the title and thumbnail. Factors impacting the videos’ popularity metrics are also discussed.
