Chapter 343: How big is the heart, how big is the stage
Lin Zixuan had a headache when he saw his sister coming to him.
Lin Xiaoling has been in the country for more than a month, and at the beginning, the whole family was happy. After all, her daughter has not come for two years, so she naturally has to celebrate it well.
But as the number of blind dates increases, the family becomes more and more restless.
The Lin family is a well-known family in Shanghai, and the blind date chosen for their daughter is also a match.
It is either a family of incense or a wealthy family. Even if it is not as good as the top families in Shanghai, it still has considerable wealth.
However, Lin Xiaoling refused everything, either because she disliked those people being too conservative or that they had no ambitions.
This is exactly why you don’t need a reason to like someone, but you can find all kinds of reasons to reject someone.
It is understandable once or twice, but it is difficult for the Lin family to explain too many times.
If the Lin family's reputation is too high, it will have an impact on the Lin family's reputation.
So, the house started to make noise, and Lin Zixuan had to take shelter everywhere and was unwilling to stay.
Fortunately, Lin Xiaoling calmed down a few days ago and wanted to do something, so she chose a research topic, which is to systematically explain the history of the Chinese news industry using Western news theory.
Lin Zixuan was stunned when he heard this. Your heart was too big.
He is engaged in the journalism industry and knows the difficulty of this matter. Where is history so easy to write? If it is just a general discussion, there is nothing. It is not easy to dig deeper and describe it in detail.
In 1815, the first modern Chinese newspaper, the Monthly Monthly Records of the Secular Monthly Records, was published, and was founded by British missionaries.
This is the world's first modern Chinese newspaper with Chinese people as its target, and is considered to be the end of China's modern and contemporary journalism.
More than a hundred years have passed since then.
Over the past century, hundreds of newspapers have appeared in Shanghai alone, not to mention other regions. Some newspapers have disappeared quickly, and some have continued to this day.
It takes several years to collect information alone, and representative newspapers have to be sorted out from it and classified them.
Moreover, China's news industry involves national changes, political games, and intervention from foreign forces.
The situation is really too complicated.
If you want to conduct systematic and theoretical research, it is not only a time-consuming issue, but also requires this ability and knowledge. Otherwise, you will not be able to come up with decent things.
However, Lin Zixuan did not dispel her sister's enthusiasm and could make her have something to do, so her family would be much more peaceful.
He introduced his sister to Ge Gongzhen, president of the Shanghai News and Reporter Federation.
Ge Gongzhen is a famous journalist and journalist industry in Shanghai. He was born in 1890 and is from Dongtai, Jiangsu.
He came to Shanghai in 1913, first as an apprentice in the bureau, and later became the editor-in-chief of the Times.
In 1921, the Shanghai News and Reporter Federation was established, and Ge Gongzhen was the president.
This person knows a lot about the history of the news industry and has taught journalism at Shanghai National University, Southern University, Daxia University, Fudan University and other schools.
Don’t be surprised by the names of these universities. Most of them are private schools. To put it bluntly, they are pheasant universities.
It is difficult for graduates of these universities to be recognized by foreign universities, and they are not as well-known as Tsinghua University and Peking University.
At this time, Ge Gongzhen spent several years to compile and complete the history of Chinese journalism. He described the history of China's news industry in a more comprehensive manner, which is a rare academic work.
This made Lin Xiaoling extremely depressed. She was originally ready to do a big fight with great enthusiasm, but she found that she had finished it.
Ge Gongzhen was very generous. He gave Lin Xiaoling the manuscript that had not been published yet, hoping that this talented student from the School of Journalism at Columbia University in the United States could give his opinions.
Among Chinese students, it is rare to study journalism.
After Lin Xiaoling finished reading it, she combined the news theories she learned in the West and really put forward a few suggestions.
The Chinese Journal of China has rich historical materials but is not systematic enough. The research is not in-depth enough and there is no theoretical form.
Ge Gongzhen accepted these suggestions. He had never learned theories of news and was relying on his own continuous exploration.
After talking to Lin Xiaoling, he decided to go to various Western countries to investigate the news industries of various countries with a learning attitude, and see how foreigners run the newspaper industry.
As a result, Lin Xiaoling became idle again.
In addition to joining the Shanghai Federation of News and Journalists, she once again fell into the vicious cycle of blind dates.
As an older brother, Lin Zixuan can’t help with this.
Lin Xiaoling came to see her brother this time because she thought of another thing, that is, to start a school that teaches journalism.
This is not a comprehensive university, but a teaching institution similar to short-term training classes, allowing Chinese journalists and newspaper editors to get exposure to Western news theory knowledge.
In fact, Chinese newspaper editors and journalists are basically not professional.
In this era, the entry threshold for newspaper editors and journalists is low. As long as you know your words, you will start with the proofreading work of newspapers and gradually become editors and editors. Few people have received education in journalism.
Taking Zhou Shoujuan as an example, he started working after graduating from high school, writing and founding publications as a literary youth.
In this way, I became the editor of the declaration step by step.
Although there are hundreds of newspapers in Shanghai that are running at the same time, the journalism major in Shanghai began in 1921.
In 1921, St. John's University in Shanghai, which belongs to the Anglican Church of the United States, opened a journalism department and hired Peterson, the chief editor of the Miller Review, as a professor.
The Journal of St. John's University in Shanghai is not only the first journalism department in China, but also the first journalism department in Asia.
At that time, there were only 35 students in the journalism department of St. John's University.
It can be said that before this, Chinese journalists basically learned their own talents.
Lin Xiaoling feels that many in-service editors and journalists in the Shanghai news industry do not have time to study in a specialized university, which is too wasteful of time. Such short-term training classes can meet their needs.
Training classes are similar to night schools, and they emphasize efficiency and should be welcomed.
To this end, she wrote a plan specifically, and the preliminary preparations were relatively simple. She just rented a classroom and published a job advertisement in the newspaper.
The recruitment targets are people with certain experience in the journalism industry, with two to three months and about one term.
Lin Xiaoling is very confident in her teaching level.
On the one hand, she came to find her brother to invest, and on the other hand, she was preparing to use editors and reporters under the Vientiane Bureau for experiments.
Provide them with two months of education and training for free to see how it works.
This is for advertising. These people will tell the people around them after they receive training, thus establishing a good reputation in the news industry.
The money started to be collected in the second period.
Looking at this detailed plan, Lin Zixuan couldn't help but sigh that his sister has really grown up and is no longer a child who only knows how to play.
