Since June, 2003, the General Administration of Press and Publication began to take the qualification examination for journalists nationwide, and then issued a unified national journalist card. The "Journalist Qualification Certificate" exam is conducted by the training centers of press and publication bureaus in various provinces and cities across the country! Generally speaking, it is held in April and September every year. There will be 4-7 days of unified, closed and concentrated training before the exam, mainly on "News Discipline and Laws and Regulations". The cost is 350 per person-700 yuan. The training time, content and charging standard may vary from place to place. It seems that this training is not open to the public at present, only for news organizations, and all units will register in a unified way. For details, please consult your local news.

After passing the training examination, the Press and Publication Bureau will issue you a qualification training certificate for news editors. This certificate is universal in the whole country, that is to say, as long as you have obtained this qualification certificate anywhere in China, you can use it no matter where you go in China in the future. With this qualification certificate, you can apply for a press card from your news unit, and your news unit can apply for a press card from the General Administration of Press and Publication with your qualification training certificate for news editors.
