An Empirical Study on the Teaching Mode Reform of a News Editing Course Under the Environment of Integrated Media

In an era of integrated media driven by technologies such as 5G, artificial intelligence, and big data, news production has transformed into a real-time, interactive, and multimodal process. This has proved challenging for news education, as traditional news gathering and editing courses have now faced issues such as outdated curricula and assessment systems, and a lack of digital practice platforms. These concerns have limited news education's capacity to prepare students for a rapidly evolving industry. Accordingly, this study proposed a new interdisciplinary teaching model integrating constructivist learning theory and project-based learning. This study provided a research-driven, systematic theoretical framework to improve journalism and communication education. In addition, it offers a progressive, project-driven pedagogical path forward—one centered on integrating technology and improving assessment, thereby providing an empirically sound, pragmatic strategy for producing highly-trained journalists for an era of integrated media.
