ABSTRACT
In units A6 and B6, we talked about the different participation frameworks associated with different media (such as television and the internet) as well as different media genres (chat shows, reality TV, social media). People who make YouTube videos must make choices about how to 'design' their viewers and other people who might be present as particular kinds of participants. It’s about 10 pm in Hong Kong, where unauthorised protests against a controversial new extradition agreement with China have dispersed across the city after demonstrators were attacked by police using tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, bean-bag rounds, and batons. Protestors set up multiple layers of barriers on the road, lifted up bricks on the pavement and demolished railings to form road barriers.
