In the fast-evolving age of digitalization and Artificial Intelligence (AI), news discourse plays a pivotal role in shaping cultural and political narratives and public understanding of significant global events by disseminating meaning that is constructed, contested, and reinterpreted by news workers and audiences. Chinese News Discourse in the Digital Era unpacks how meaning is generated and circulated in Chinese news media to foster mutual understanding, highlighting the interplay between communication, journalism, linguistics, translation, political science, and digital platforms. The evolution in media and technology has reshaped global journalism, including China, demanding new skills such as multimedia storytelling and data analysis from journalists and translators. This volume examines the intersection of news media, discourse, language, translation, and culture, as well as communication pedagogy, which underpins the construction and negotiation of meaning in news discourse through various means in communication and education. This book provides useful insights for scholars, students, and policymakers interested in Chinese linguistics, news discourse, media and communication, and translation.
