On 1 December, 2025, the 2025 Campus News Awards Presentation Ceremony hosted by China Daily was held at City University of Hong Kong (Dongguan). In this year's competition, the School of Journalism and Communication of Nanjing University performed brilliantly, with three news works winning the Merit Award for Best News Reporting, the Champion of Best Science and Technology News Reporting, and the Third Prize of Best Science and Technology News Reporting respectively.
Launched by China Daily in 2012, the Campus News Awards aims to encourage college students to actively participate in news reporting, refine their writing and multimedia production skills, and provide an exchange platform for young students from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan regions of China. Held annually, the event has run for 14 consecutive years, attracting nearly 30,000 students in total. It invites over 100 university scholars and senior media professionals as judges, enjoying wide reputation in both academic and industry circles.
It is reported that the 2025 Campus News Awards received more than 1,000 Chinese and English works from over 100 institutions, including Renmin University of China, Nanjing University, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, University of Macau, Shih Hsin University, with more than 3,000 participants. A total of 19 groups of awards for Chinese and English news works were presented.
The award-winning reports are as follows:
《“问题气体”致盲事件十年后追踪报道（上）》
Awardees: Fan Zhikai
《大学·问｜地球为什么在变色？》
《大学·问｜地球上曾经生活过不止一种人类？》

Note: both video works above were created in the master's practice course "Short Video Workshop", jointly guided by Professor Zhuang Yongzhi from our school and Mr. Zhu Junjun from Modern Express.
The School of Journalism and Communication has organized students to participate in China Daily's Campus News Awards for eight consecutive years and achieved remarkable results. This is attributed to the school's practice-oriented teaching philosophy and the diversified, systematic university-media training platforms. In the future, the school will continue to deepen the practice-oriented education path, encourage students to temper practical skills in real news scenarios, and cultivate more outstanding media talents with a sense of the times, professional ethics and social responsibility.
