Features: The book traces the origins and development of modern Chinese newspapers, uncovering numerous rare original copies, reprints, and manuscripts of newspapers scattered across the UK, the US, Japan, and Hong Kong. It verifies the authenticity of these materials, correcting many incorrect records and "conclusions" in newspaper history studies since the publication of Gu Gongzhen's History of Chinese Journalism in 1927. The content discusses the changes in Chinese newspapers over the 60-year period from 1815 to 1874, clearly outlining the characteristics of the early stages of modern Chinese journalism, making it a significant contribution to filling gaps in this field.
