【Introduction】
In today's era, news communication and sustainable development are closely linked, and they jointly shape social progress and the future of mankind. As an important way to transmit information, news communication can not only quickly convey news events around the world to the public, but also guide the public's cognition and understanding of sustainable development issues. With the deepening of globalization, sustainable development issues such as environmental issues, resource allocation, and social justice are increasingly receiving widespread attention from the international community. The importance of studying news communication and sustainable development lies in that they jointly promote the society's deep understanding of environmental and social issues, promote the popularization and practice of the concept of sustainable development, and provide motivation and direction for building a more harmonious and sustainable world. It should become one of the important strategic support points for my country's governance.
