The summer of 2016 saw one of the most significant citizen protests
in the history of democratic South Korea, eventually culminating in
the impeachment and conviction of then President Park Geun-hye for
corruption. Concerns about the president's behavior were raised in
a polarized media environment with low public trust, where extreme
right-wing media outlets amplified conspiracy theories and false
claims in opposition to impeachment. How then was it possible for
pro-impeachment protests seeking major social change to succeed?
And why did pro-Park protesters and government efforts to defend
Park ultimately fail? Based on interviews with key players in the
impeachment movement and original analyses of news reports and
social media posts, Networked Collective Actions untangles the
intricate interactions among different actors that were supported
and sometimes constrained by the technological, socio-political,
and legal environments in which they occurred. Moreover, Hyunjin
Seo develops a theoretical framework for understanding collective
actions in dynamic information ecosysems and analyzes how
information consumption patterns might prompt someone to either
immediately reject a certain piece of information or to reconsider
and adopt that same information. Seo provides a nuanced examination
of the role of journalism in a democracy where non-traditional
intermediaries (e.g., social media influencers and bots) have
emerged as important producers and filters of information, and in
light of declining trust in news media.
