Inter-disciplinary Approach in Researching Media and International Politics

Professional forum Monday, 15:42 19-04-2021

In the 21st century, media acts not only as an observer of international relations but also as an actor, who takes part in all the events and gradually becomes a key actor in international politics. Therefore, the media has accumulated increasing influence on politics, which receives the interest of many researchers. There have been several types of research into the role and relationship between media and international actors either from a media perspective or international relations perspective. This writing systematizes a theoretical approach to media and international actor relationships and recommends an inter-disciplinary approach to research the interaction between media and international actors in the 21st century.

Impacts of artificial intelligence (AI) on journalism education

Abstract: Within just a decade, artificial intelligence (AI) has profoundly transformed nearly every aspect of social life. Journalism, initially marked by apprehension, has gradually moved toward acceptance and adaptation to the integration of AI into professional practices. This transformation has, in turn, reshaped both the content and pedagogical approaches of journalism education. By analyzing the impacts of AI on journalism in general and on journalism education in particular, this article clarifies how AI influences curricula, teaching methods, faculty competencies, and the institutional infrastructure of journalism education in Viet Nam. On that basis, the study proposes a set of recommendations to assist journalism training institutions in integrating AI into pedagogical practices in a responsible and effective manner.

Abstract: This article analyzes the pivotal role of higher education institutions within the national innovation ecosystem. Modern universities are no longer confined to traditional teaching roles, but also serve as nuclei for knowledge creation, technology transfer, and the promotion of entrepreneurship and innovation. In the context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, particularly with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, the role of higher education has become even more critical. Drawing on successful models from the United States, Germany, Israel, South Korea, Singapore, and China, the article clarifies the functional pillars of higher education in shaping modern knowledge-based economies. Based on this analysis, the study proposes several breakthrough policy recommendations for Vietnam to maximize the potential of its universities, especially in the implementation of the Politburo’s Resolutions No. 57-NQ/TW and No. 71-NQ/TW.
