走通识教育与学术相结合之路的“威斯康星模式”，虽然没有像“密苏里模式”在中国的推进过程中所表现出的“人”与“资金”的流动，但是我们依然可以从中国早期新闻教育的发展形态以及新闻学理论引进中，找到受“威斯康星模式”影响的一鳞半爪。平民大学新闻学系的课程设置是通识教育理念的本土化实践；而我国早期新闻理论家在消化、吸收作为新闻学核心理论的“新闻价值标准说”的过程中，受到把新闻学定位于社会科学的“威斯康星模式”的影响为甚。

“Wisconsin Mode”, which is combined with general education and academic research, hasn’t show the flow of “person” and “capital” as “Missouri Mode” in the process of its advancement in China. However, we can still find some impact out of “Wisconsin Mode” in China’s early developing pattern of journalism education and the introduction of journalism theories. In Pingmin University, the curriculum at the department of Journalism is the practice of localization of general education. Otherwise, in the process of absorbing the “news value standards”, which was the core theory of journalism, China’s early journalism theorists were greatly influenced by “Wisconsin Mode” which took journalism as social science.
