Features: Theoretical Journalism, which is news theory, together with Historical Journalism (history of the press) and Applied Journalism (journalistic practice), constitutes the three main branches of journalism. This book is a continuation of Introduction to Journalism, yet it has distinct divisions. It focuses on the adjustments made to news theory concepts under market economy conditions, reflecting a strong contemporary awareness. It is the author's keen sensitivity to the vibrant and diverse practices of news communication in China today, the theoretical elevation of new journalistic practice issues under new historical conditions, and rational reflection on current news theory issues. In terms of writing, the book does not deliberately pursue systematicity, but strives to demonstrate distinct characteristics in thematic focus, research depth, and cutting-edge nature, aiming to contribute to enriching theoretical journalism in China. This book is one of the core textbooks for graduate-level courses in Journalism and Communication Studies. It can serve as a graduate textbook, reference material for senior undergraduate students, or supplementary aid for postgraduate entrance exams. It is also suitable for professionals in media and publicity departments for further study, training, and research.
