Knowledge bank: This paper presents the first results of a new program at Shantou University in Guangdong Province, China to train China’s next generation of sports journalists.
With private funding from the Li Ka Shing Foundation of Hong Kong, Shantou University is undergoing a thorough overhaul.
The goal is to establish Shantou as a Western-style university with a credit system, innovative teaching methods, and high-quality research facilities.
In the spring of 2005, Shantou University’s Cheung Kong School of Journalism and Communication added sports journalism to its undergraduate curriculum.
