Descripción
Sumario:The objective of this article is to expose general suggestions in media literacy about the subinfor-mative processes, taking as example the relation-ship between sub-information and public opinion regarding the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region pro-democratic protests and the People’s Republic of China. In this document, subinforma-tion is understood to mean, unlike misinformation, the conceals of essential data in news published by the press, which makes even more difficult to build a complete picture of a public problem. Through fieldwork, in-depth interviews, and content analysis on the most influential news headlines in China and Hong Kong, this document concludes that subinformation has a greater presence than disin-formation in the practice of journalistic practice, beyond journalistic culture.
