After a 3-year editorial effort, Enrich Professional Publishing is proud to offer the first comprehensive English language overview of journalism in China, The History of Journalism in China (10-Volume Set). Over the course of 10 volumes, and more than 2,000 pages, the series spans 200 BC to 1991, and covers all aspects of journalism in China's history, including newspapers, periodicals, news agencies, broadcast television, photography, documentary film, and journals. The History of Journalism presents the development of journalism in China against the backdrop of the major events in China's history (the first and second Sino-Japanese Wars, the Chinese Civil War, and the Cultural Revolution). The 10 volumes of The History of Journalism offer unique insights into all aspects of journalism in the entire Chinese-speaking world, from the Mainland to Taiwan to Hong Kong to Macau and to the larger Chinese diaspora. The author of this series, Fang Hanqi, Professor Emeritus in Journalism, has been called the “Father of China's Modern Journalism.”

This series provides a comprehensive history of journalism in China. It chronicles two millennia of journalistic history from the 2nd century BC to the 1990s, and includes coverage of newspapers, periodicals, news agencies, broadcast television, photography, documentary film, journal cartoons, journal education, as well as information about reporters, journalists, and other aspects of journalism. Volume 4 offers a detailed depiction of the development of journalism in China from the 1911 Revolution until the end of the Long March. This chaotic period witnessed the confrontation between the conventional and conservative feudal powers and the emerging and innovative revolutionary forces. In this period, foreigners also founded their own newspapers, news agencies, and radio stations in the country. In addition to covering major historical incidents such as the May Fourth Movement, the founding of the CPC, and the First KMT–CPC United Front, this book provides a systematic account of the political circumstances of the era and the publications in China at that time.
