Features: There is also research on UK media coverage of "9/11" in China. This research is mostly 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 covering "9/11" and the challenges they face. This book aims to systematize this research, examining the relationship among media, government, and audience to understand contemporary British journalistic concepts and their essence, forming a relatively complete outcome. Crucially, this research is grounded in Marxist journalistic perspectives, with evaluations of UK media's journalistic concepts and conclusions about their reporting tendencies based on dialectical materialism and historical materialism. The book focuses on the coverage of "9/11" and its aftermath by mainstream UK media, examining their journalistic concepts and reporting tendencies, which essentially reflects an examination of their journalistic values. The author has collected a large amount of detailed and valuable primary materials, including local news reports and audience reactions, and analyzes British journalism and the media industry from historical and dialectical perspectives. Within this broader context, the book specifically analyzes the value orientation of UK mainstream media in covering "9/11," presenting both affirmation and critique, demonstrating a calm and objective approach.
