Abstract

Though news representations of protest have been studied extensively, little is known about how media audiences critique such representations. Focusing on TikTok as a space for media criticism, this article examines how users employ the app to respond to representations of protest in mainstream news media. Content collected in the spring of 2021 illuminated two very distinct foci of discussion about news representations of protest: the Black Lives Matter movement and the Capitol riot. Our qualitative content analysis of TikTok videos and their related comments demonstrates how users employed TikTok’s creative affordances to dissect specific news representations, critique the media apparatus, and expand news narratives. These findings shed light on the complex role of TikTok as a platform for media criticism—one that can be used for both democratic and non-democratic ends.

抗议抗议范式:TikTok作为媒体批评的空间

尽管人们对抗议的新闻表述进行了广泛的研究，但对媒体受众如何批评这种表述知之甚少。本文将TikTok作为媒体批评的空间，研究用户如何使用该应用程序来回应主流新闻媒体的抗议言论。2021年春季收集的内容揭示了关于抗议新闻报道的两个截然不同的讨论焦点：黑人的命也是命运动和国会骚乱。我们对TikTok视频及其相关评论的定性内容分析表明，用户如何利用TikTok的创造性启示来剖析特定的新闻表现，批评媒体机构，并扩展新闻叙事。这些发现揭示了TikTok作为媒体批评平台的复杂作用，它既可以用于民主目的，也可以用于非民主目的。
