Features: The media of a country develops along with the country's development. The scope of influence, structural composition, and value orientation of mass media during a certain period can be seen as evidence of specific socio-political changes. The functions and roles of mass communication media in social transformation and national development have always been a hot topic in communication theory. Dr. Sun Jucheng's academic monograph Information Power—Communication and National Development provides clear answers to major strategic issues of communication participating in national development based on practical experience. The development of China's press industry requires a large number of talents who are rooted in practical practice and dedicated to theoretical research, which is also an important sign of the prosperity and vitality of China's press industry. It is believed that the publication of Information Power—Communication and National Development will greatly expand the research horizons of China's development communication studies and fill the gaps in academic research on development communication in China. The book mainly introduces the historical context of the theory of communication and national development, the academic landscape of communication and national development theory, and other content.
