Program overview
Journalism may sound high-end, but its core is three things: finding leads, writing stories, and getting them out. You'll learn basics like news interviewing and writing, news editing, news photography, and video production, as well as advanced topics like communication theory, media ethics, and data journalism. Chinese universities place special emphasis on "all-media" capabilities—you need to be able to write traditional newspaper articles, edit short videos, and run WeChat public accounts. Many schools have converged media labs and even cooperative projects with Xinhua News Agency and CCTV, giving you hands-on experience. This major suits students who are curious, enjoy talking to people, have a keen eye for hot topics, and don't mind pulling all-nighters to meet deadlines. If you think "helping more people see the truth" is a cool mission, this program will be right up your alley.
