Statistics
Students from Hong Kong Chu Hai College attended the Storytelling in the Age of AI Simulation in Abu Dhabi in December 2024.
Across seven days participants, they attended talks and workshops and crucially learned from top CNN journalists about what it takes to effectively engage audiences.
The participants were given the chance to put theory into practice, taking part in an intensive, competitive challenge. Working in groups with participants from around the world, they were set the challenge of investigating and reporting on a breaking news story in a fictional country; attending mock news conferences and interviews with role players.
Against a backdrop of Hong Kong’s economy entering a take-off stage which heightened the growth of civil society, the founding of the Department of Journalism and Communication at Chu Hai in 1968 was a response to the societal demand for media professionals.
The Department was the first to offer a four-year post-secondary journalism programme at the tertiary level in Hong Kong, and it has nurtured approximately 1,500 graduates.
Its strength is shown by an impressive track record of successful employment and the number of strategic positions held by our graduates in all major media sectors, serving the communities throughout the world.
Many of our graduates are now working in influential positions in local and overseas media organizations located in U.S.A, Canada, Australia, U.K., Hong Kong and Taiwan. Their contributions to the progress of the media profession and civilization in our society are widely recognized.
