Features: There is also research on UK media's coverage of "9/11" in China. Such research is often found in newspapers and websites, translating and reviewing the findings of Western scholars. It primarily points out the mistakes and shortcomings of UK media in their coverage of "9/11" and the challenges they face. This book aims to systematize this research, examining the relationship among media, government, and audience to explore the contemporary news philosophy and essence of UK journalism, forming a relatively complete outcome. Crucially, this research is grounded in Marxist journalism theory, with its evaluation of UK media's news philosophy and its conclusion on reporting tendencies based on dialectical materialism and historical materialism. The book focuses on the coverage of "9/11" and its subsequent events by mainstream UK media, examining their news philosophy and reporting tendencies, which essentially reflects the news values of mainstream UK media. The author has collected a large amount of detailed and valuable primary materials, including local news reports and audience reactions, and analyzes UK journalism and the industry from historical and dialectical perspectives. Against this backdrop, the book specifically examines the news value orientation of mainstream UK media in their coverage of "9/11," offering both affirmation and critique, demonstrating a calm and objective approach.
