The deep development of media integration gave birth to the communication paradigm of cross-media narration, and traditional journalism education faced the structural dilemma of “mismatch between supply and demand of skills”. Based on the theory of cross-media narration, this paper systematically defines the three-dimensional composition of the core skills of journalism in the all-media era: the ability of cross-media narrative structure, the ability of technology integration and application, and the ability of value consensus cohesion. By analyzing the outstanding problems in the current journalism education in terms of curriculum system, practical teaching, teacher structure and evaluation mechanism, this paper puts forward a four-in-one educational reform path of “theoretical foundation-technical empowerment-practice sharpening-value casting soul”. The research aims to provide theoretical reference and practical paradigm for journalism education in colleges and universities to adapt to industry changes and cultivate “all-media, compound and innovative” journalism talents.
