Features: This book is a systematic compilation of some new achievements and existing results in the field of news and communication research in recent years. It is divided into 9 chapters, with the scope of news activities as the main thread. Through a rigorous logical structure, the book conducts a comparative systematic thinking and research on the fundamental theories of news. It not only elaborates on some conclusions that have already been largely established but also proposes many new questions. Additionally, it provides a clear description of the current situation and basic development status of theoretical journalism in contemporary China. This book is part of the News and Communication Studies Library and is a landmark achievement of the "Project 211" at Renmin University of China. It represents a systematic thinking and research on fundamental issues in news theory, falling under what I call a broad definition of news theory. Structurally, it is somewhat similar to a textbook, though it omits some overly basic topics, making it suitable as a textbook or reference book for graduate students in the field of news and communication.
