The students from NJU’s School of Journalism and Communication won five prizes in the 1st National College Students Creative Media Competition, whose final round and award ceremony were held at East China Normal University on November 30, 2019.
These five prizes were the second prize of H5 News, second and third prizes of Video News, third prize of Data News and third prize of Graphic News.
The theme of the competition was “Up-to-Date Youths, Brand-New Times,” and 1,200 person-times submitted over 400 works.
After the preliminary and semifinal, 47 entries passed the on-site defense and judge review in the final and were awarded first, second, third and creativity prizes in four groups.
Wang Yuxian, Wang Shuai and Zhao Jing (fourth, fifth and sixth from the left in the second row), students from NJU’s School of Journalism and Communication receive awards on behalf of their teams.
The H5 news report, “The Train Riding Through 40 Years,” by Fan Kun, Zhang Qun and Zhou Jiabei, took “life” on the train as the theme. Readers can treasure-hunt on every train carriage and can live through the particular historic events on each carriage that the passengers are undergoing.
The work emphasizes detail and truth of these historical scenes on the train. Readers’ involvement and the influence of this H5 news are strengthened by clicking on the items on the carriage to read their stories and sharing postcards.
The work, “Do High Speed Trains Steal the Business of Civil Aviation?” by Zhao Jing, Liu Yunjie and Qian Mingya, digs deep into the competition between high-speed trains and airplanes from the business prospects of the two
means of transportation against the rapid development of China’s high-speed trains and the changes in Chinese people’s traveling habits.
The report starts with an introduction to cancelled short-and-medium-haul flights and illustrates the changes in recent years of the transportation market with facts and data.
“NJU Alumnus’ Letters to Hometown Stone Village,” by Wu Ziyi and Wang Mingrui, includes letters sent home by an NJU alumnus who was studying in the United States at the end of last century. The report shows the function and charm of letters at that time. The alumnus’ letters not only exhibit the strong kinship between the two geographically separated generations, but also witness the social changes and development in that era.
The guest is announcing the third prize winners.
The short video, “Zeng Tao: My Grandfather Designed China’s National Flag,” by Wang Yuxian, Zhang Jin, Huang Wei and Liang Shuchen, tells the story of how the five-star national flag was designed 70 years ago. The video takes the first-person perspective of Zeng Tao, the eldest grandson of NJU alumnus Mr. Zeng Liansong. The video carried special meaning as it was aired in 2019, 70 years after the founding of China.
Another short video, “Wu Jianxiong: The Queen of Physics Who Let Slip Nobel Prize,” by Wang Shuai, Xu Xiaoyue and Zhang Dandan, records the interviews with the descendants of Wu Jianxiong in Shanghai, Nanjing and Suzhou about how she missed out on Nobel. The video showed the other side of Wu as an ordinary and elegant woman besides a devoted physicist.
