Imagining the Journalism and Communication Programs in Hong Kong(1927-2006)——An Interview with Emeritus Professor Leonard L.Chu at National Chengchi University in Taiwan

香港新闻传播学界成名,靠一群教授不懈的奋斗,也得力大师宣伟伯的奉献和浇灌。资深的华人传播学者和教育者朱立,爬梳始于1927年的香港新闻教育"史前史",回溯终于2006年退休离港的个人亲历史,总结香港新闻传播学界诸多教育、研究、变革经验。他认为任何时代的新闻传播教育,总得与在地社会的政治经济与传媒业的现实状况同步,相互倚赖亦奋力追求自主;学与术必须并重,教与研相长,唯才是举,尊重学术自由,加强国际交流,以维持学术共同体良性发展的基本保障,而行政管理则是辅佐上述主体工作的必要之"恶";而且将教育当作百年树人的大业,传承与发展,才能日新月异,永续不绝。

This exchange extracts the gist of reflections on the prehistory and history of journalism and communication programs in Hong Kong from 1927 to 2006 by Leonard L. Chu, an emeritus professor and educator of journalism and communication at National Chengchi University in Taiwan. His publications on Chinese media and journalism education have influenced many a communication scholar in the Pan-Chinese region. In December 2012, for his contributions in this area Chu was honored by the fourth ＂Master Hsing Yun Journalism and Communication Awards＂. Chu attributes the success of Hong Kong journalism and communication programs to the faculty＇s relentless effforts and doyen Wilbur Schramm＇s inspiration in the 1970s that laid down a solid foundation for future development. To him, an ideal model for journalism and communication education should encompass a dosage of knowledge and skills as well as critical ability and hands-on practice. He firmly believes in the value of academic integrity and intellectual freedom.
