Abstract

Vocational journalism education in New Zealand is facing the twin challenges of declining student numbers and increasing industry expectations that graduates should have strong multimedia skills. The main reason for both is the digital revolution, which has created a public perception that there are no longer jobs for new journalists and increased demand from industry for recruits proficient in convergent journalism. Some journalism schools, unable to meet these challenges, have closed. This article considers what the remaining schools are doing to meet the challenges. The article also reports the results of a survey of graduates of the oldest continuously operating journalism school in the country. The results reveal how the nature of journalism education in New Zealand has changed over the past 50 years, the experience of the graduates since leaving the school and the advice they offer today’s aspiring journalists.

新西兰新闻教育:历史、当前挑战和可能的未来

新西兰的职业新闻教育面临着学生人数下降和行业对毕业生应具备强大多媒体技能的期望增加的双重挑战。两者的主要原因都是数字革命，它造成了公众的看法，即新记者不再有工作，行业对精通融合新闻的招聘人员的需求也在增加。一些新闻学院无法应对这些挑战，已经关闭。这篇文章考虑了剩下的学校正在做些什么来应对挑战。文章还报道了对该国历史最悠久的连续经营的新闻学院毕业生的调查结果。研究结果揭示了新西兰新闻教育的性质在过去50年中发生了怎样的变化，毕业生离开学校后的经历，以及他们为当今有抱负的记者提供的建议。

期刊介绍： Asia Pacific Media Educator is an international refereed journal published twice a year by SAGE Publications (New Delhi) in collaboration with the School of the Arts, English and Media, Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts, University of Wollongong in Australia. The journal follows international norms and procedures of blind peer reviewing by scholars representing a wide range of multi-disciplinary areas. APME focuses on generating discussions and dialogues among media educators, researchers and journalists. Content ranges from critical commentaries and essays to research reports and papers that contribute to journalism theory development and offer innovative ideas in improving the standard and currency of media reportage, teaching and training specific to the Asia Pacific region. Papers that integrate media theories with applications to professional practice, media training and journalism education are usually selected for peer review. APME also carries a Q&A section with book authors. APME takes conventional book reviews to a more creative level where reviewers directly engage with authors to understand the process that authors take in researching and writing the book, clarify their assumptions and pose critical questions.
