Features: In the 21st century, China's journalism and communication industry and journalism education will experience significant development. The publication of this series of textbooks will contribute to the growth and prosperity of the journalism and communication industry and journalism education, as well as the cultivation of journalism and communication talents in the new century.

This textbook covers two disciplines—journalism and communication—and three majors—journalism, broadcasting and television, and advertising. It reviews the history of news photography from the perspective of the development of human visual communication, as well as the main factors that have influenced its development. The focus is on: the achievements of theoretical research in Chinese news photography in the 1920s and 1930s; the development of news photography both domestically and internationally; the significant events that occurred during the prosperous period of world news photography from the 1930s to the 1960s; the current state of Chinese news photography; and the achievements of reforms in news photography since the mid-1980s.
