Features: Li Bin's A History of Global Journalism and Communication, building upon previous research, aims to guide its analysis with a series of globalization propositions revealed by Marx and Engels in classic works such as The Communist Manifesto, while also drawing on the theories of new historiography since the 20th century. The book conducts a comprehensive, systematic, yet in-depth analysis of the historical evolution, social driving forces, professional background, internal logic, and development trends of global journalism and communication. It integrates micro and macro perspectives, combines historical narrative with theoretical discussion, and merges history with logic to outline an organic rather than mechanical, holistic rather than fragmented, and interconnected rather than isolated history of global journalism and communication. This approach not only provides essential academic support for the study of journalism and communication but also offers a scientific historical reference for China's journalism and communication industry to actively respond to the challenges and opportunities of globalization. The book employs a narrative and analytical style, offering a general overview of the major history of journalism and communication in the context of globalization since 1500. It focuses on journalism while also encompassing fields such as history, philosophy, technology, culture, and social life. The book can serve as both a professional textbook and a general read.
