The professional ideology of Chinese journalism education（2001-2024）

The subject of this research is the transformation of the professional ideology of journalism education in China from 2001 to 2024. The object of the study is the system of training journalists in Chinese universities; the subject is its value-normative, institutional, and technological components. Special attention is given to the operationalization of ideological parameters in regulatory documents, educational programs, and academic research. The author examines in detail the mechanisms of combining ideological control and professional training in the context of digital modernization and the strengthening of the country's international influence. The methodological basis includes an analysis of relevant acts and curricula, as well as the comparison of case studies. Using Peking University as an example, it is shown how a combination of professional competencies, global thinking, and ideological loyalty forms a coherent profile of the modern Chinese journalist. The theoretical and methodological foundation is based on the parametric-indicator approach of I.N. Blokhin (2023), which allows for the consideration of professional ideology as a multilayered and multidimensional system. My novelty lies in the systematic introduction of I.N. Blokhin's parametric-indicator approach into the analysis of the professional ideology of journalism education in China, constructing a three-level framework – values and norms, institutional mechanisms, technological components – and proposing clear, practically applicable evaluation criteria. My contribution consists of the implementation and adaptation of I.N. Blokhin's methodology, specifically his "parametric-indicator" approach, to the study of professional ideology in Chinese journalism education, which required contextual adaptation and the development of appropriate criteria. In conclusion, from 2001 to 2024, journalism education in the People's Republic of China has developed into a multilayered political-technological model, where the ideological framework, professional training, and digital competencies are integrated. The contemporary Marxist-Leninist value core is institutionalized through required courses, standard textbooks, and support mechanisms; in practice, a unified professional profile is formed (competencies, global competence, ideological identity). State initiatives and media convergence platforms establish stable regulatory frameworks; digital transformation strengthens the connection between competencies and ideological requirements and external communication, ultimately defining a clear vector of development and parameters of professional identity.
