Features: Information and news are inherently contradictory—information must be confidential, while news must be public. Since the beginning of human communication, the conflict between communication and countercommunication, as well as between news dissemination and information confidentiality, has existed. However, information and news are often two sides of the same coin. A piece of information may possess both intelligence value and news value, while a news item may also have both news value and intelligence value. Due to the coexistence of intelligence and news value, there is a close yet intricate relationship between news value and intelligence value, news sources and intelligence sources, news gathering and intelligence collection, and news reporting and intelligence confidentiality management. Based on this close relationship between news and intelligence, this book explores the issues of communication and confidentiality related to intelligence and news from both the fields of journalism and communication studies and intelligence studies, and introduces the concept of "intelligence news." Innovation is not for the sake of novelty, and a limited perspective may still offer insightful observations. Through the writing of this small book, we hope to raise some noteworthy and discussable questions in the areas of news communication and confidentiality.
