Abstract

This article is a brief review of China's journalism and communication studies in the year of 2014, based on a survey of important academic journal articles. It finds that the utilitarian studies are relatively more than the basic theoretical research. This reflects that much of the scholars’ attention has been paid to new phenomenon, showing researchers’ great anxieties on the sea changes brought by the new communication technologies. Besides, the overall research level has been greatly improved, and many old topics have been deeply discussed by using new concepts, new methods, or new materials.
