Abstract

“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.
