ABSTRACT

The Department of Journalism of Yenching University was a leader in journalism education during the period of the Republic of China. It achieved great success in the cultivation of journalism talents through the combination of professional education and general education, equal emphasis on theory and practice, simultaneous development of knowledge learning and academic research. Through the analysis of the specific implementation of the training ways of Yenching University journalism talents, we can find five deep reasons why they can be implemented. First of all, it can’t be separated from the high-minded talent training objectives of scholars, focusing on training the press leaders to transform the society. Secondly, because of the scholars' grasp of the characteristics of journalism talent training, they pay attention to multi-disciplinary collaborative training. Thirdly, it is necessary for scholars to combine the training of journalists with the needs of the press and society, and they pay attention to the close interaction between schools and the press. Fourthly, it is inseparable from the persistent and seeking spirit of educating people, and they are good at summing up successful experience and reflecting on failure lessons. Fifthly, it is inseparable from the unique development vision of scholars, and they can grasp the development trend of disciplines according to the development situation of the industry. These historical experiences are still of great significance to the cultivation of today's journalists.
