With the arrival of the mediatization era, media practice is now infiltrating as well as impacting every aspect of social life. Based on the recent practice turn in western media studies, this paper critically reviews practice theories in sociological studies, using applications of practice theories in other disciplines, and establishes a media practice approach based on practice theories of Theodore Schatzki. Basic frameworks and research routes of this new approach are then elaborated. This paper concludes with values of the media practice approach as well as its implications for media studies in China.
