Abstract

The border of journalism education as well as journalism is becoming indistinct, but news is always full of vitality. Journalism education should focus on the topic of journalism and education, and always be ready to quickly adjust its way of thinking and education pattern. Different kinds of journalism and education schools in the U.S. all have their own different characteristics. China’s journalism education should also be more individualized with an emphasis on professionalism, and highlight the subject advantage of different journalism schools. At the same time, journalism education should also comply with the wave of media entrepreneurship to strengthen education on media innovation and entrepreneurship, and promote industry-university cooperation. The context of media convergence also needs journalism education to bridge the gap with discipline of science such as computer science and information science, and promote integration of arts and science. But in the process of journalism education reform, traditional news value with the core of media ethics will never be outdated, and news value education should still be the focal point of contemporary journalism education.
