Features: Media criticism guides people to scientifically analyze news works and media activities, enabling the audience to correctly understand news and guiding journalists to grasp news quality from the perspective of news criticism. This requires moving towards the depth of news feedback and studying it as an independent discipline. In fact, articles commenting on journalists, media, and news pieces are increasingly appearing in newspapers, and a team of media critics is gathering. The establishment of media criticism is also based on its ability to establish new standards for news writing and news selection, forming the behavioral norms of news review activities. Within the news industry, selecting excellent manuscripts, summarizing reporting gains and losses, and editors' discussions and decisions when selecting manuscripts all involve relevant knowledge of media criticism, yet such systematic knowledge was previously unavailable. This textbook introduces the norms, standards, methods, and content of media criticism by explaining its basic principles, analyzing its attributes and thinking methods. Media criticism guides people to scientifically analyze news works and media activities, enabling the audience to correctly understand news and allowing journalists to grasp news quality from the perspective of news criticism. Due to space limitations, this book primarily focuses on the critical activities of news media, using media criticism and news criticism as two intersecting concepts to strive for a more complete system and framework.
