Lin Zixuan had a headache when he saw his sister coming to him.

Lin Xiaoling has been back to China for more than a month, and the family was happy at first, after all, her daughter has not come back for two years, so she naturally wants to celebrate.

But with the increase in the number of blind dates, the family is becoming more and more uneasy.

The Lin family is a face-to-face family in Shanghai, and the blind date chosen for their daughter is also a good match.

is either a scholarly family or a wealthy family, even if it is not as good as the top family in Shanghai, it also has a lot of wealth.

Lin Xiaoling rejected them all, either because she disliked those people for being too conservative, or because they had no ambitions.

This is exactly what likes someone without a reason, but rejects someone with all sorts of reasons.

Once or twice is understandable, but the Lin family is not easy to explain if there are too many times.

If there is a rumor that the Lin family's vision is too high, it will have an impact on the reputation of the Lin family.

As a result, the family began to quarrel, and Lin Zixuan had to take refuge everywhere, unwilling to go home.

Fortunately, a few days ago, Lin Xiaoling settled down and wanted to do something, so she chose a research topic, that is, to systematically explain the history of China's journalism industry with Western news theories.

Lin Zixuan was stunned when he heard this, your heart is too big.

He is in journalism, and he knows how difficult it is, where is history so easy to write, if it is just a general talk, there is nothing, and it is not easy to dig deeper and describe it in detail.

In 1815, China's first modern newspaper, Cha Shi Monthly Tongji Biography, was published and founded by British missionaries.

This is the world's first modern Chinese newspaper targeting the Chinese. It is considered to be the beginning of modern journalism in China.

More than 100 years have passed now.

Over the past 100 years, hundreds of newspapers have appeared in Shanghai alone, not to mention other regions. Some newspapers quickly disappeared, while others have survived to this day.

It takes years just to collect the information, and to sort out representative newspapers from them.

Moreover, China's journalism industry is involved in national changes, political games, and the interference of foreign forces.

The situation is just too complicated.

I want to conduct systematic and theoretical research. It's not just a matter of time, you also need to have the ability and knowledge, otherwise you won't be able to make something decent.

However, Lin Zixuan did not discourage his sister's enthusiasm. It's good to be able to let her have something to do, and the family will be much more peaceful.

He introduced his sister to Ge Gongzhen, president of the Shanghai Journalists Federation.

Ge Gongzhen was a well-known newspaperman and journalist in Shanghai, who was born in 1890. A native of Dongtai, Jiangsu.

He came to Shanghai in 1913. He first worked as an apprentice at a bookstore and later became the editor-in-chief of The Times.

In 1921, the Shanghai Journalists Association was founded, and Ge Gongzhen was the first president.

He knows a lot about the history of journalism 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, or pheasant universities.

Graduates of these universities are hardly recognized by foreign universities, and they are not as well-known as Tsinghua University and Peking University.

This time. Ge Gongzhen spent several years compiling and completing the "History of Chinese Newspapers", which comprehensively described the course of the development of China's journalism. It can be described as a rare academic work.

This made Lin Xiaoling extremely depressed, and she was originally ready to do it with great interest, but found that others had already done it.

Ge Gongzhen was very generous, and he showed Lin Xiaoling the manuscript of the book that had not yet been published, hoping that the talented student of Columbia University's School of Journalism in the United States would give his opinion.

Among Chinese students, there are not many international students majoring in journalism.

After reading it, Lin Xiaoling really put forward a few suggestions based on the journalism theories she learned in the West.

"The History of Chinese Newspapers" is rich in historical materials, but it is not systematic enough, the research is not in-depth enough, and it does not form theoretical things.

Ge Gongzhen accepted these suggestions, he did not study journalism theory, and relied on his own continuous exploration.

After talking with Lin Xiaoling, he decided to go to Western countries to study the journalism industry in various countries with a learning attitude and see how foreigners run the newspaper business.

As a result, Lin Xiaoling became idle again.

In addition to joining the Shanghai Journalists Federation, she once again fell into a blind date loop.

As an elder brother, Lin Zixuan couldn't help with this.

Lin Xiaoling came to her brother this time because she thought of one more thing, that is, to start a school to teach journalism.

This is not a comprehensive university, but a teaching institution similar to a short-term training course, which exposes Chinese journalists and newspaper editors to Western journalism theory.

In fact, newspaper editors and reporters in China are largely not professional.

In this era, newspaper editors and reporters have a low entry threshold, as long as they know how to read, they start with newspaper proofreading work, and gradually rise to become editors and editors-in-chief, and few people have received a journalism education.

Zhou Shoujuan, for example, began working after graduating from high school, writing and founding publications as a literary youth.

In this way, step by step, he became the editor of "Declaration".

Regardless of Shanghai's well-developed newspaper industry, there are hundreds of newspapers published at the same time, but Shanghai's journalism profession began in 1921.

In 1921, St. John's University in Shanghai, affiliated with the Anglican Church in the United States, opened a journalism department and hired Peterson, the chief writer of the Miller Review, as a professor.

The Department of Journalism at St. John's University in Shanghai is not only the first journalism department in China, but also the first journalism department in Asia.

There were only 35 students in the journalism department at St. John's University that year.

It can be said that before that, the Chinese newspaper people were basically self-taught.

Lin Xiaoling feels that many editors and reporters in Shanghai's journalism industry do not have the time to study at specialized universities, which is a waste of time, and this kind of short-term training course can meet their needs.

The training courses, like evening classes, are efficient and should be welcomed.

To this end, she wrote a plan, and the preliminary preparation was relatively simple, just rent a classroom and advertise the job in the newspaper.

The target of recruitment is people with certain experience in the journalism industry, two to three months for a semester, and about 30 people in one phase.

Lin Xiaoling is very confident in her teaching skills.

On the one hand, she came to her brother to attract investment, and on the other hand, she was preparing to experiment with the editors and reporters under Vientiane Bookstore.

Give them two months of education and training for free to see how it goes.

It's for advertising, and these people are trained to tell the people around them and build a good reputation in journalism.

In the second installment, the money began to be collected.

Lin Zixuan looked at this thoughtful plan, and couldn't help but sigh that his sister has really grown up, and she is no longer a child who only knows how to play.

Her future is up to her, and how far she can go depends on how big her heart is. (To be continued.) )
