About

This International Journalism Studies course from Hong Kong Baptist University provides professional postgraduate studies in international journalism with a particular emphasis on Hong Kong, Mainland China and East/Southeast Asia. This is offered in two concentrations: International Journalism and Business and Financial Journalism.

Overview

Key Features

The International Journalism Studies course from Hong Kong Baptist University has trained thousands of outstanding talents, many of whom are active in local and international journalism, while others are applying what they have learned in other professional fields ranging from business, economics and finance to communication, international affairs and beyond. The teaching team comes from all over the world, including front-line reporters and editors with extensive experience in international news gathering and editing and dedicated teachers with years of experience as well as scholars with rigorous academic training. We are committed to nurturing every student with a vision and commitment to international journalism.

The curriculum includes three primary dimensions: The first is a reserve of concepts and theories to improve academic accomplishment and enhance analytical skills, critical thinking, legal knowledge and understanding of the field of international journalism. The second is training in professional journalism practice, including storytelling, writing, newsgathering, visual production and ethical practices of news production. The third is the cultivation of interdisciplinary learning. Excellent journalists need to be knowledgeable about many subjects. A foundation in fields such as finance, big data and digital communication is the third focus of this programme.
