Media Education Workshop
Our Form 4 and Form 5 students participated in an exciting Media Education Workshop organized by the Journalism Education Foundation. It was a day filled with discovery, hands-on learning, and inspiration.
Behind the Scenes at TVB City
The day began with a visit to TVB City, where students were warmly received by renowned news anchor Mr. Trevor Lee Cheuk Him. Mr. Lee led an engaging tour of the newsroom, introducing the broadcasting facilities including studios used for weather forecasts and traffic updates.
Students had the unique opportunity to interact with real broadcasting technology, such as a touch-screen panel used in live news segments. This hands-on experience provided a fascinating look at the tools that bring news stories to life. Mr. Lee also demonstrated how traffic reports are produced and explained the teamwork required across multiple departments to ensure smooth broadcast operations.
In addition to showcasing the technical side of news production, Mr. Lee shared valuable insights from his career. He spoke about the increasing role of artificial intelligence in media, noting that while AI enhances efficiency, the “human touch”—creativity, critical thinking, and editorial judgment—remains essential in journalism.
Students also had a chance to explore TVB’s drama sets, including those designed to replicate ancient streetscapes, offering a rare behind-the-scenes look at television drama production.
Learning at the Hong Kong News-Expo
In the afternoon, our students visited the Hong Kong News-Expo, where they deepened their understanding of media literacy. Through interactive exhibits and expert-led sessions, they learned how to critically evaluate news content and identify misinformation—an increasingly important skill in today’s digital world.
They also experimented with professional broadcasting equipment, gaining practical insights into the technical operations that support modern newsrooms.
An Eye-Opening Experience
This enriching workshop gave students a rare opportunity to experience the fast-paced, dynamic world of journalism first-hand. From walking through real broadcast studios to participating in interactive activities, the day was filled with eye-opening moments that sparked curiosity and creativity.
With our students’ enthusiasm and engagement, we hope this experience inspires future journalists, media creators, and informed global citizens.
