"This book investigates the relationship between information communication and community development in China in the new media age, drawing on theoretical resources from journalism, communication, urban sociology, community management and the activities of social movements. Contrasting existing scholarship that centres on new technologies and virtual aspects of today's communication, the study highlights community residents' daily praxis in real social spaces and the interaction between online and offline communications. 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: media use and social consciousness and mobilization; new media and changes of community governance; and 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. The title will appeal to academics and students studying communication and social transition in China, new media and society, urban sociology and public governance"--

"This is a book about how people use advanced information technologies to write for community change. The author argues that the work of citizenship is knowledge work - on the same order as the knowledge work expected of workers in business and industry settings. Those writing for community change must interact with complex databases - even create them - work with ill-formed sets of information, and from this material, write persuasively to professional audiences. The civic rhetoric required is therefore mediated by complex information technologies that is deeply coordinated and collaborative. Rhetorical activity in contemporary communities requires the participation of many people and technologies. Invention is distributed; writing is always collaborative." "The importance of this book is the way it understands writing and technology, citizenship, and the implications of these understanding for how we need to teach and learn with students in university writing classrooms."--BOOK JACKET.
