Based on the comparative summary of the research results and the detailed reading of specific texts, this paper will analyze the influence of mass media on the emergence, construction and development of late Qing condemnation novels in turn, and put forward its own viewpoints so as to argue that mass media is an indispensable driving force for the progress of condemnation novels.
