As MA Jun's teacher of News Gathering, I deem it a pleasure to recommend her to your esteemeduniversity, I have been acquainted with her for two years and moreover her excellent academicgrades as well as her outstanding ability to gather and analyze news material left a deep impression on me.
Before I became a college teacher, I had work in the Southern Weekly as a journalist. Therefore, Ioften assigned students to practice when teaching News Gathering, such as participating in role-play games, interviewing the servers in the dining hall and gate keepers, to help them cultivatequality of journalists. To my delight, she could take each interviewing task seriously despite thatthose were just simulation exercises and make the most of each chance to improve herself, which Iappreciate very much.
I still remember Miss Ma's impressive performance in the on-camera interview, a check-up item ofthe final examination. After profound consideration, she decided to interview the Zhang Shugin, theproducer of“Sunny Village” which is a special charity organization established to bring up childrenfor criminals. In order to fulfill this interviewing task, she firstly collected many reports of theorganization from other newspaper offices and deeply analyzed their difference. Moreover, shevisited the Sunny Village by herself as well as communicated with teachers and children here tolearn more about this organization. Through comparing the reports and the materials that shecollected, she chose a unique topic as the breakthrough point to dig up special information fromthose materials to enable people in the society to know more about this organization and therebybetter help children here. In this interviewing task, she demonstrated to me another side. As far as lam concerned, she is a caring student with a high sense of social responsibility and good at theexploration and analysis ofnews materials.
In view of Ma Juncheng's enormous progress in the field of News during the two years, I amconvinced that she will have a rosy future in this line. Considering that the further study of News inthe master program will improve her and better prepare her for the job ofreporter, I am glad to writethis letter of recommendation in support of her application, hoping that you will consider it favorably.Should any further information about her be needed, please contact me directly.
Sincerely yours,
