My name is Mao Lanqing and I graduated from the School of Journalism and Communication at Peking University. My major is journalism, and I am particularly interested in writing in-depth reports.
In my college career, I spent most of my time on courses and projects.Four years of academic training in journalism formed my way of viewing and interpreting the world around me while introducing me to the challenges journalists face nowadays. Majoring in Journalism at Peking University, I built a systematic framework for communication studies, acquired various principles and techniques of journalism, as well as trained my critical thinking on social and cultural topics, building a solid foundation to further explore journalism at the postgraduate level.
As Wilbur Schramm, the founder of communication studies, suggested, the students a communication school should cultivate are the ones most suitable for comprehending and discussing the world they live in. Inspired by this idea, I chose to major in journalism after a year of general studies in the School of Journalism and Communication.
I hope to present correct, accurate and impartial news to my audience as a reference to their judgement of the world around them.
