Offering these courses during college can help students better understand the origin and development of journalism, which is of course helpful to us students.
So, what should journalism students do?
1. Cultivate correct and independent values. Contact and communicate with people with ideas to understand their values and ideas. Only after experiencing the influence of countless values can we establish our own values. Then dig the truth from many angles, and there are 1000 Hamlet in the eyes of 1000 readers. Everyone's vision is limited. Learn more and dig more facts. After sorting it out, it becomes a fact in your eyes.
Be sure to read more. No matter what you do, you can't go wrong reading a good book. Read a lot of classic journalism books and readers related to interview writing. Recommend Entertainment to Death, History of News Communication and How The Wall Street Journal Tells Stories.
3. Making good use of Internet resources, understanding industry information in real time and finding out the context of the industry can help you choose the right direction. Pay attention to the comments of some official WeChat accounts, see the writing methods and starting points of the big V, and write more comments yourself. If you know more, you will naturally ask good questions during the interview.
4. Go to more internships. Many things are not what you think. After personal experience, it will break many of your inherent cognition and make you realize what your shortcomings are and what you need to improve. For example, many people like writing, but news writing and writing are very different. Writing is the purpose, used to record life and self-feeling. News writing is a means and a tool, whether the article is good or not. Only when people watching the news get the information they deserve can you prove that your report is valuable.
