Features: This book takes the two hot topics in current journalism and communication studies, "Media Competition" and "Media Culture," as its research subjects. It explores the historical and social roots of media competition from a theoretical perspective while focusing on analyzing the main competitive strategies of the newspaper and television industries today, offering practical suggestions and countermeasures. Additionally, it further examines how our media can move beyond chaotic competition and provide the public with a healthy and positive media culture. The book is both forward-looking and practical, covering a series of cutting-edge and highly debated topics currently of great concern in both academia and the industry, such as the globalization of communication, media convergence, public journalism, consumerism, media literacy, and the wave of entertainmentization. At the same time, it pays close attention to integrating theoretical discussions with empirical research, truly ensuring that theory originates from practice and then returns to guide practice. This book holds significant reference value for both the academic and professional fields of journalism and communication. It is divided into three parts: "Media and Consumer Society," "Media and Public Space," and "Media and Cultural Discourse," featuring over 30 articles.
