Top academics and media leaders sparked debates about AI, ethics, and TikTok-era storytelling at the 4th Capital Deans’ Forum this past Saturday in Beijing. Over 30 university deans joined tech innovators to tackle one question: How do you teach journalism when algorithms write headlines? 🤖📰
Co-hosted by Beijing Sport University and major industry associations, the event buzzed with ideas about VR reporting labs, AI fact-checking tools, and training students to spot deepfakes. "We’re not just teaching cameras and microphones anymore," said one professor during a roundtable on curriculum updates. 🎓💻
Key takeaways? Schools are racing to blend data science with traditional reporting skills while keeping social responsibility front-row. Think: courses on combating misinformation paired with internships at ByteDance. The forum also highlighted new partnerships between universities and Tencent to create "mixed reality" newsrooms. 🌐✨
