Xiamen University’s School of Journalism and Communication (廈門大學新聞傳播學院) is located within Xiamen University in Fujian Province and affiliated, like all programs in Chinese higher education, with China’s Ministry of Education. First offering journalism education in 1922, according to its online profile, the university initially established the Department of Journalism and Communication in 1983, which in 2007 was upgraded to a formal school. The school comprises three departments — Journalism, Advertising, and Communication — alongside two research institutes that focus on communication studies and branding and advertising studies. The school has developed a partnership with China News Service (中國新聞社), the government newswire under the United Front Work Department of the Chinese Communist Party. It also established cooperation in 2021 with the Philippines’ Chinese-language World News (菲律賓世界日報).
