Direction of news employment

Generally speaking, journalism students have three corresponding directions after graduation: journalism (including professional media and news propaganda departments of some units), public relations and advertising, with a wide range of employment fields.

In addition to jobs in media content production, journalism students are also suitable for advertising, public relations, communication, university, enterprise propaganda, government propaganda and other aspects. Television program director is also an ideal job for many graduates. In recent years, variety shows, especially reality shows, have become popular, and there is a shortage of talents in TV broadcasting, editing and talent selection.

Offline periodical editors, such as magazine editors, are also a good choice. Magazine editors need to have certain advertising knowledge, preferably working experience in tourism, training, real estate, decorative building materials, catering and entertainment industries.

In the end, some graduates who are not engaged in the media industry have become public relations and planning of enterprises or governments, engaged in public relations propaganda work, and some outstanding graduates have become college teachers.
