The Marxist view of journalism has always been the guiding banner for journalists and the cornerstone of change in the process of social change. This article analyzes the news practices of Marx and Engels, and combines modern news cases to explore their creative transformation paths and influences in contemporary times. Marx's news practice covers the early integration of user thinking and professionalism, including the user thinking reflected in the "Reader's Letter" column, the prototype of data news created by data comparison, and the dialectical use of title strategies. Engels pioneered the paradigm of in-depth reporting, including methodological innovation in undercover investigations, deconstruction of social issues from individual cases to institutional criticism, and practical paths from exposure to reform. The core ideas of Marxist news theory have achieved creative transformation in contemporary times, such as the unity of party spirit and people's nature, the technological empowerment of the principle of authenticity, and the youthful transformation of theoretical dissemination. The Marxist view of journalism has been inherited and developed through the interaction between history and reality, theory and practice, providing guidance for the transformation of the news industry, constantly inspiring journalists to shoulder their mission and responsibilities, and clarifying the development direction for news media.
