Abstract

A survey (N = 503) tested religious knowledge for journalism students and nonjournalism students. Journalism students scored poorly on basic religious knowledge and fared no better than nonjournalism students. When advertising and public relations majors were added to the journalism majors to create a new mass communication major variable, that group scored higher than students studying something else. Within the mass communication major, there were differences by chosen field, with photojournalism, print journalism, and public relations students scoring highest. The results indicate that while journalism students and nonjournalism students agree on the need for journalists to have religious literacy, journalism schools are falling short of making sure journalistic training is resulting in proper levels of religious literacy.
是时候“获得”宗教信仰了?新闻专业学生的宗教素养分析
一项调查(N = 503)测试了新闻系学生和非新闻系学生的宗教知识。新闻系学生在基本宗教知识方面得分很低,也不比非新闻系学生好。当在新闻专业中加入广告和公共关系专业,创造一个新的大众传播专业变量时,这一组的得分高于其他专业的学生。在大众传播专业中,不同专业的学生得分也不同,摄影新闻、平面新闻和公共关系专业的学生得分最高。结果表明,虽然新闻专业学生和非新闻专业学生都认为记者需要有宗教素养,但新闻学院在确保新闻培训能够产生适当水平的宗教素养方面做得不够。
