Editor's Recommendation for Introduction to Journalism (2nd Edition): All communication must pass through language. The transmission of ideas and concepts first requires transforming the world, people, and various relationships into language. The event itself is not news; the report of the event is news. News is timely and publicly disseminated, and it is newly occurring.
The upper part of the book Introduction to Journalism discusses the fundamental theories of journalism, while the lower part covers basic journalistic theories from foreign perspectives. This work presents extraordinary and enlightening discussions on the social functions of news information, the general functions of the news industry, different types of news values, various concepts of news value, and the understanding of journalistic truthfulness, all offering unique insights. The special section delves into major issues such as the objectivity of news, press freedom, public opinion, and press law, proposing thought-provoking perspectives for readers. It can serve as a textbook for undergraduate studies and is also suitable for high-level research.
