Peking University enjoys the reputation of "the cradle of journalism and journalism education in China". As early as 19 18, Peking University opened the first journalism course in the history of China, and established the first journalism research group in China, the Journalism Research Association of Peking University, with President Cai Yuanpei as its president. Peking University published China's first journalism book and founded China's first journalism magazine. Peking University has many such "first masters in journalism education". Shao Piaoping, a famous journalist, is a tutor of the Journalism Research Association, and Mao Zedong, a young man, is a member of the Journalism Research Association. The journalism research and journalism education activities centered on Beida laid the foundation for the development of journalism research and journalism education in China and wrote a brilliant page in the history of journalism in China. After the founding of New China, Peking University took the lead in setting up journalism major twice in China, and sent a large number of outstanding talents to the country. Most of the graduates in this period became the backbone of news education and news front in China.
19 17 years ago, before Peking University opened up the atmosphere, Professor Xu, who was studying journalism in the United States, was hired to offer journalism elective courses for students of liberal arts departments, introduce the general situation and theory of journalism in Europe and America, and opened the first journalism course in China universities. 19 18 In the spring, students Luo and Tan proposed to Professor Xu, who was then the secretary of the principal's office, and Shao Piaoping, the president of Beijing Daily, who often invited them to contribute manuscripts, the desire to set up a press society. Xu immediately expressed support, "willing to guide students to learn", while Shao wrote to Cai Yuanpei, proposing that Peking University set up a research association to study journalism.
1965438+On July 6th, 2008, Cai Yuanpei published eight articles in Journal of Peking University, including the draft Outline of Journalism Research Association, and prepared to set up a research association with the aim of "inculcating news knowledge and training journalists" and taking the scope, editing, topic selection, news dissemination law, newsprint and news agency as the research contents. 19181kloc-0/0 On October 4th, the first journalism research group in China, the Journalism Research Association of Peking University, was established, and President Cai delivered a speech at the meeting. It is pointed out that newsprint suddenly increased after the Republic of China, but "only the way of development depends on experience". Therefore, it is necessary to organize a society to study journalism and combine it with China's social reality, "summarizing based on special experience to confirm the theory or make journalism have a special development"; Emphasis should be placed on keeping news and opposing pornographic advertisements and obscene stories. Xu, the director of the seminar, gave a speech on "Responsibility and Diligence of Newsprint".
In February 19 19, 19, the seminar was renamed "Peking University Journalism Research Association", and its purpose was changed to "study journalism theory, increase journalism experience and seek the development of journalism", which further highlighted the combination of journalism theory research and practice. 19 19 On April 20th, the Journalism Research Association of Peking University published Newsweek, the first news periodical in the history of China, with the aim of "facilitating members' practice, spreading news knowledge and discussing among students". The magazine published three issues in total, and stopped publishing after the May 4th Movement. 191910/6, held the first research expiration ceremony, and Cai Yuanpei personally awarded Mao Zedong and other 55 people the certificates of attending classes twice a year and half a year. 191910/0/October19, the new phase of the workshop was officially launched. However, due to Cai Yuanpei's forced study in Europe, Xu's teaching in a civilian university, and Shao Piaoping's exile in Japan, it is estimated that the seminar will stop its activities by the end of 1920. However, Professor Xu's Lectures on Journalism was published and passed down to later generations. This is the first time that China has written his own news works. Since then, journalism education in Peking University has been stagnant for twenty or thirty years. Many graduates from other majors in Peking University are engaged in news publishing and have made great achievements. However, journalism education in Yanyuan has not stopped. During the climax of the establishment of journalism department in colleges and universities from 65438 to 0924, the American press initiated the establishment of journalism department in yenching university. Walter Williams, the president of Missouri School of Journalism, sponsored the committee with a grant of $50,000. Roswell Sessoms Britton is the head of the department, and Vernor Nash is also a professor. Although the department once stopped at 1927, it recovered and developed rapidly at 1929. Courses include journalism principles, editing, interviewing, writing, management, printing, photography and so on. Teachers and students jointly compiled the news supplement of Yanda Weekly and jointly organized Yanjing News Agency. At first, only English manuscripts were distributed, and later Chinese manuscripts were distributed to more than 10 newspapers in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Hankou, Hongkong, Tokyo and new york. With relatively complete institutional facilities, the Department is known as the newest and most complete journalism school in the Far East (Journalism of Outsiders in China by Zhao Minheng, Pacific International Society of China, 1932, p. 148). Si Nuo, who was buried in the south bank of Weiming Lake, once taught here.
1949, the founding of new China, 1952, the adjustment of national colleges and universities, further strengthened the government's leadership and planning and development of journalism education. The journalism department of yenching university was merged into the Chinese department of Peking University, and its editing major changed (later renamed journalism major). At that time, the dean was Li Luo, and the professor was Fang Hanqi and others. During the four years from 1952 to 1955, the Chinese Department of Peking University, on the one hand, received more than 90 students from three grades merged by the journalism department of Yanda University, on the other hand, recruited more than 250 freshmen year by year, becoming the backbone of journalism in new China. From June 65438 to June 0958, the journalism major of Peking University Chinese Department was merged into the journalism department of the National People's Congress, and the teachers, books and materials were adjusted accordingly. 197 1 National People's Congress was revoked, and the school journalism department no longer exists. In September of that year, the journalism major of Chinese Department in Peking University resumed. 1973 Some teachers of the journalism department of the National People's Congress were assigned to teach at Peking University according to the organizational system, among which Fang Hanqi and others were famous. However, due to the interference of ultra-left ideological trend, journalism education in this period was very irregular. 65438-0977 National colleges and universities resumed enrollment, and journalism majors in Peking University began to formally enroll students. 1978, the NPC resumed, and the journalism major of Peking University returned to the NPC.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, a number of books related to communication were introduced to China, and communication as a discipline began to be recognized by China people. 1June, 983, according to the instruction of (83) 15, Peking University set up the major of "international cultural exchange" in the Department of International Politics (the predecessor of the Institute of International Relations) and began to recruit double bachelor students. Several postgraduate courses were held from 1985 to 1988, and the second bachelor degree students were enrolled from 199 1. 65438-0986 began to recruit graduate students in the direction of international cultural communication under the master of international political science. And gradually trained a young and powerful team of teachers engaged in international communication, cultural exchange, news communication and other majors. 1984, the state officially listed the editing major in the undergraduate enrollment catalogue. Peking University, as one of more than a dozen universities in China, has set up the editing major of Chinese Department, and has trained 10 students successively. With the establishment of this major, journalism and communication came into being in Peking University one after another, and formed a distinctive school-running style. From 65438 to 0993, Peking University Art Teaching and Research Section began to carry out advertising education at junior college level to meet the needs of society. Peking University Art Department was founded in 1994, and the major of advertising was officially listed in the enrollment catalogue of undergraduate majors in Peking University on 1995. At the same time, several other majors continued to develop. From 65438 to 0994, editors transferred to the Department of Information Management, placing more emphasis on students' computer application ability, which not only cultivated traditional editors, but also focused on cultivating talents in network editing and electronic publishing. From 65438 to 0997, the Institute of International Relations began to recruit doctoral students in the direction of international cultural communication under the master's degree in international political science; Editorial science also enrolled master's and doctoral students in editorial science under the master's degree program of library science, and advertising science enrolled graduate students in advertising science under the master's degree program of art. 1998 The state adjusted the professional catalogue, and the State Council Academic Degree Office included communication in the postgraduate discipline catalogue. The Institute of International Relations applied for a master's degree in communication, and 1999 officially enrolled a master's degree in international cultural communication and international news communication.
