The world is entering a new era of industrial revolution. At the beginning of the 21st century, more and more people can connect with others in real-time across the globe, engaging in communication. This communication transcends borders, overcomes time zones, and occurs in various forms such as sound, text, and images. Our planet, interconnected through digital technology, is undergoing profound and rapid changes. In this era, media and culture operate under increasingly globalized political, economic, and technological contexts. Daya Tulsu’s highly readable work provides a comprehensive analysis of the development of international communication in this age. Although numerous discussions have covered various aspects of the rapid development of international communication, International Communication: Continuity and Change is the first to gather all important theoretical and empirical achievements in this field, offering us a new and easily understandable read. The book first provides a comprehensive introduction and discussion of the historical evolution and theoretical framework of communication. Subsequently, it enriches the theoretical interpretation through carefully selected case studies from around the world. At the same time, the book explores the globalization process and trends of the communication and media industry, as well as the impact of these processes and trends on the cultures of various countries and the application of new technologies in the future of communication.
