Features: The topic of "Emerging Events and Media Coverage" has been increasingly emphasized in the teaching of "Specialized Reporting" in China's university journalism and communication programs. Chinese media are also quickly adapting to and confronting this social reality, handling it appropriately. This book, grounded in journalism, comprehensively analyzes China's media coverage of emerging events by integrating theories from management, law, communication, and political science. It examines the era-specific characteristics of emerging (crisis) events and elaborates on the vital role of such reporting in modern society. Additionally, by analyzing the traditional concepts and frameworks of Chinese media's coverage of public emergencies and the driving mechanisms behind their continuous advancement, the book explores the reform path of Chinese media's crisis reporting from both "historical" and "global" perspectives. This book holds significant value for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in the fields of journalism, media, and management regarding the teaching, reporting, and response to "emerging events."
