Driven by big data, intelligence and fully connected technologies, the era of Internet of everything and pan-media is approaching, and global news communication education is facing major reforms and adjustments.
Upon entering the beginning of the new century, the news communication education community has made necessary adjustments and innovations in terms of concepts, goals, content, and paths, and has achieved rich experience and remarkable achievements. However, micro, detailed and phased repairs and optimizations are difficult to adapt and lead the overall transformation of the communication and media industry. News communication education needs to be strategically and systematically reconstructed.
In this case, adherence to tradition and future-oriented, technology-driven and content innovation, academic research and talent cultivation, subjectivity and multidisciplinary co-creation, local development and global cooperation, etc., require more complete explanations and solutions.
This is a common problem faced by the global journalism education community. It needs to bring together the wisdom, strength and courage of the academic community to give possible answers.
To this end, on October 13, 2018, “International Journalism and Communication Deans Conference (2018) and 2018 China Communication Forum” was held at Renmin University of China, which was jointly launched by China Higher Education Society Journalism and Communication Professional Committee, School of Journalism and Communication of Renmin University of China and Communication Research Association of the Chinese Association for Journalism and Mass Communication.
