Using content analysis and CiteSpace visualization software and taking journal articles of China National Knowledge Infrastructure database from 2004 to 2017 as the analysis objects, this paper comprehensively explores the studies using grounded theory in the field of journalism and communication in the Chinese mainland. It shows that the application of grounded theory in the field of journalism and communication had a relatively late start in the Chinese mainland.
