ABSTRACT
Journalism education and the journalism industry
have boomed in the past twenty years in China, however, journalism school
graduates are not highly welcomed by media organizations. In order to examine
issues and challenges facing journalism education, this study conducted an
in-depth interview with practicing journalists and journalism educators through
a lens of journalistic professionalism. This paper finds that their perceptions
are focusing on expertise, commitment, responsibility but eschewing
journalistic autonomy deliberately with respect to journalistic professionalism
and concentrating on rigid journalism knowledge without “professional” or
practical ability with respect to journalism education. Limitation and
suggestions for future research are also provided.
KEYWORDS
Chinese journalistic professionalism, journalism education, journalism education challenges
