Some argue that the journalism educated recruits mostly can “easy begin but hardly persist” One of the journalists I knew graduated from a famous journalism school started and adapted his job perfectly in the beginning, but not long time later he lost his advantage to another recruit with literature education background who couldn’t even write a piece of full-element news in the beginning. What the literature educated journalist needed was just some most basic training and knowledge, the capacity of better organize language make him outstanding.
Firstly, changes should be made to the course structure of journalism education. Up-to-date courses according to journalism practice should be systematically enhanced, to make students more creative and sensitive with the development of media industry. Secondly, pure theoretical courses should be simplified and even cut off for the aim and time limit of undergraduate education. Students need learn more from practice to obtain the ability of seeing and touching the reality with deeper and more unique angle. At the same time, the development of China’s journalism environment requires more journalists with the ability of deeply thinking and criticizing, therefore variety and depth should be considered when choose theoretical courses.
