The Master of Journalism programme exposed me to the multitude of skills expected of a modern journalist that goes beyond good storytelling: video journalism, understanding online misinformation, working with data and marketing your content. I joined the programme practically not knowing what doing journalism meant. But in just nine months, I was ready to report on stories with the journalistic rigour needed in a world where readers constantly question what they read.

The master's programme in journalism (MJ) at JMSC helped me to become a multimedia journalist who's able to work under intense situations.
At JMSC, you get so many hands-on opportunities to master different multimedia skills like video reporting, photography, broadcasting, podcasting and data journalism. The faculty members are all very friendly and their doors are always open for students after class. I was able to learn and improve my skill sets in such a short period of time. The class discussions on the ethical dilemma journalists might face have also helped me make better decisions at work.

I came to HKU Journalism with no background in journalism, equipped only with a desire to learn and stories of how intense the MJ program would be. Adaptability, flexibility and tenacity were drilled into us in the form of world-class teaching across audio, video, and writing programs.

“I first developed interest in television news during my exchange semester, but it was the course Anchoring and Video News Writing offered by HKU Journalism that gave me the biggest push in taking up the role of a news anchor/reporter as a fresh graduate.
