This course belongs to the elective courses of communication postgraduates. Since the 20th century, the communication technology has developed quickly, and forms two kinds of media systems---the press media and the electronic media, besides, the Internet develop at an unprecedented speed. The impetuous development of Internet not only helps the human beings enter the "digital age", but also has an important influence on the social development. That's why it becomes more and more important to disclose the interaction law of mass communication and social development. With the combination of monograph teaching and discussions between teachers and students, this course adopts a heuristic method to guide the students to pay close attention to the reality of the media and social development home and abroad, and then discloses the interaction law of mass communication and social development by synthesizing various kinds of research methods, so that it could give guidance and reference to the students' media practice. This course includes nine sections, and separately discusses the inter-relationship between mass communication and news cause (includes news, propaganda, and public opinion), politics, economy, culture, legal systems, international business, sports, science and technology and daily life. And every section concerns three aspects: firstly, it is the impact of mass communication on those fields mentioned above, secondly, it is the impact of the development of those fields on mass communication, and lastly, it is the interaction between mass communication and those fields. The arrangement of the teaching activities means to broaden the students' range of knowledge and help them expound the function of mass communication with a wider vision, so that they have the ability of take the responsibility of promoting the social development. We hope to cultivate the students' capability of analyzing and solving problems through those teaching activities.
