Chang Jiang is a Chinese author with a notably broad range of subjects; public information about him is limited, and biographical details are not available. Judging from the seven works held in the collection, his interests span journalism and communication, social culture, and film and television studies. He has written introductory and historical surveys such as An Introduction to Radio and Television Studies and A History of Chinese Television: 1958–2008, as well as studies of communication theory and digital-age issues in Public Opinion and On the Digital Media Ecology: Automation, Posthumanism, and Activism. Through interview volumes such as From Classics to the Frontier: Interviews with Major European and American Communication Scholars and Recording and Perspective: Interviews on Hot Topics in Chinese Media, he presents voices from academia and the industry. Farewell to Babel: When China Meets Africa further shows his interest in cross-cultural observation. His writing combines scholarly substance with readability and suits readers concerned with media and contemporary society.
