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’ve never ever imagined one day I would be standing in front of a class of nine-year-old kids instead of a camera before completing my degree at the Journalism and Media Studies Centre. Four years ago, I aspired to become an inspiring, truth-seeking journalist. Yet, the curriculum and my experience at HKU Journalism opened my eyes, eventually leading me to understand the underlying problems in our society.”

“My four-year journey at HKU Journalism took me many places, and I left with a lot of fond memories and friends. My professors never shied away from imparting their knowledge and experience, and always took the time to guide me in the right direction. The tight community of staff, alumni and students at the Journalism and Media Studies Centre meant that there was always someone close by.”
