Jingyi Yu, originally from Ningbo, Zhejiang, is a King’s College London graduate with the major in English Language and Linguistics. Throughout Jingyi’s academic journey, a deep passion for storytelling and exploring the power of language in shaping thoughts and perceptions has been developed. Engaging with various individuals through interviews and discussions, particularly in the TV society at King’s, has given Jingyi valuable insights into different perspectives and societal issues.
Beyond academia, Jingyi is a cinephile who enjoys immersing herself in the world of movies and narratives. While an interest in performance arts has led Jingyi to explore roles in independent films, the importance of long-form storytelling in the digital age is also acknowledged. Through internships at the comment department of Global Times and government media center in mainland China, skills in editing, reporting, interviewing, and feature writing have been honed, she keeps gaining a glimpse into the dynamics of state media and its evolving communication strategies.
Jingyi’s ultimate goal is to create compelling and thought-provoking content that resonates with audiences in the journalism and media industry.
