News Friday, 15:06 07-05-2021

The survey with 300 students from second years to fourth years at the Academy of Journalism and Communication brought about key findings: time for reading books and documents under 1 hour/day; students have a preference for entertainment books such as short stories, novels, and comics, etc. to newspapers and magazines; there is a difference in the choice of reading space for study and entertainment and the majority of students come to the library to read the documents for their study and have the discussion and do group work; the percentage of students borrowing the books on the spot is higher than the percentage of those borrowing the books home. Although AJC has installed the electronic directory on the computer, students not using it account for 33.7 percent. The duration from 7.30 to 11.30 am has the most students at the library.

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.
