Through content analysis, case studies, questionnaire surveys, and in-depth interviews, the author explores the social engagement of communication in public expressions and negotiations among Chinese urban communities. From micro, meso, and macro levels respectively, three interactive mechanisms are discussed: (1) media use and social consciousness and mobilization; (2) new media and changes in community governance; and (3) state-community interplay. Based on these mechanisms, the author proposes the idea of \"the construction of grassroots social communication\", exploring approaches to the modernization of social governance and attainment of social interests by optimizing information communication.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCommunication and Community in the New Media Age\u003c\/em\u003e will appeal to academics and students studying communication and social transition in China, new media and society, urban sociology, and public governance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Wang Bin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032008245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032008240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.59d","brand":"Wang Bin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44122804093183,"sku":"9781032008240","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_23408fb8-6720-4ae9-936e-0558364704ea.jpg?v=1687427249","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/communication-and-community-in-the-wang-bin-9781032008240","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
