Abstract:

The advent of digitalisation and the development of communication technologies have had a profound impact on professional journalism and journalistic workflow routines. Universities are faced with the important task of following the ongoing changes in the media market in order to make informed decisions for a contemporary journalism education. But what are the requirements, and are they similar in countries with a different educational background? In a comparative study of journalism education in the United States and Germany, both media professionals and journalism educators were asked for their opinion on what contemporary and future journalism education should look like. The survey included questions regarding
• the future development of the media sector and the impact of technological trends on everyday journalistic work,
• how journalism education should react to these trends,
• and what professional requirements are expected of young journalists entering the profession these days.
For the study, all accredited journalism programs and a representative number of chief editors and news directors in both countries where asked for their opinion via an online survey. Drawing from these empirical findings, the study will point out expectations about the development of journalism education programs in both countries as well as differences and similarities between US and German media and educational trends in journalism.
