The Outstanding Journalists Visiting Program at Zhejiang University is sponsored by the College of Media and International Culture of Zhejiang University. It aims to provide study and research opportunities for outstanding journalists, and to build a bridge between working journalists and journalism professors as well as students.  

Each year, the program selects several outstanding journalists with more than five years of professional working experiences. The college provides the outstanding journalists with scholarships for their visit at ZJU. They will have the opportunity to audit courses, give lectures, participate in academic activities, and do research for four months.

With the generous support of “Caixin Media”, the College launched the first “Outstanding Journalists Visiting Program” on October 10, 2012, which has become an annual event till now.

A total of 49 outstanding journalists were selected in the previous ten years. The program has been warmly welcomed by both the journalists and the students. It has already made a large impact on the media industry and the academia in China.

In addition to course audition, the selected journalists should at least give one public lecture and one classroom lecture, and complete a research report under the guidance of the tutors. They are also encouraged to participate in academic activities such as Journalism Workshops, Round Table Discussions, Local Media Field Trips, and related conferences organized by the College.
