Mr. Xiao Guanhong, the General Editor of Shanghai Wenhui Press, a leading domestic publisher, took the pioneering step of personally serving as the book's chief editor. He commented, "In recent years, there has been an abundance of publications on journalism and media, but to my knowledge, few combine journalistic practice and theory so perfectly. Zhang Jianxing embodies multiple identities—journalist, scholar, entrepreneur, and strategist—with extensive experience in journalistic operations, media management, and a strong personal charisma. The book proposes numerous strategic ideas and journalistic techniques, possessing significant academic, practical, and reference value. It brings a breath of fresh air to the publishing and media industries. This book can provide valuable insights and guidance for media leaders, serving as a 'textbook' for those studying journalism and media, and an 'instruction manual' for journalists. For those outside the media field, it is the best way to gain an understanding of the industry's mysteries. In terms of content arrangement and design, this book is arguably the best and most meticulously crafted in the history of Wenhui Press. We have also specially processed the text to enhance readers' reading enjoyment and effectiveness."
