A Study on the Situation and Reform of the Core Curriculum of Journalism Majors under the Background of Digital Communication: Based on the Analysis of Undergraduate Training Programs of 10 Colleges and Universities in Zhejiang Province

Abstract

The development of digital communication technology has promoted the reform of journalism education. However, the literature review shows that the current research on journalism education reform often lacks a discussion of the concrete curriculum system reform. Based on the training plan of 10 colleges and universities in Zhejiang Province, we find that the current curriculum system is divorced from the social demand in different degrees, and the non-core curriculum and repeated curriculum occupy the credit space, which restricts the reform of professional education. Therefore, the first step of journalism reform is to release the credit space, give full play to the integration advantage of journalism, realize the re-engineering of interdisciplinary curriculum, and finally keep the curriculum content in line with the latest social frontier all the time, to supply the news industry with compound talents who possess pace with the times.
