| From the perspective of information, different form, content, scope and level of social communication activities have been substantial and wide, changing the amount, structure and distribution of social information. Communication activities change social information environment and social information resource allocation, which is the feature and demand of information society. Traditional communication research paid little attention to the information quality of communication. Information science exerts tremendous influences on the communications in terms of vision, theory and methods. Meanwhile, new fields of communication study are explored, for example, how to optimize social information environment, the computer simulation of complex social system, and so on. In the practice of communication education, we should strengthen education about the concept of information, study and application of theories and methods of information science, social computing technology and new media. |
