Features: The media of a country develops along with the country's growth. The scope of influence, structural composition, and value orientation of mass media during a certain period can be seen as evidence of specific social and political transformations. The functions and roles of mass communication media in social change 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's participation in national development based on summarizing practical experience. The development of China's press requires a large number of talents who are grounded in practical practice and dedicated to theoretical research, which is also a significant sign of the prosperity and flourishing of China's press. 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 academic research gaps in this field.
