笔试内容：
时间一共105mins 期间可以谷歌百度 不需要开摄像头 建议留个15-20分钟检查语法和行文逻辑 & 平时多用英语进行写作
题型：5道看图片讲述新闻及其news value + 5道主观题

具体题目如下：
1. 白俄罗斯抗议活动
2. BLM Protest
3. 拜登宣布就职
4. 黎巴嫩大爆炸
5. 寄生虫电影获奥斯卡奖

这一part不是很难 考试前看看BBC CNN NYT等外媒的yearly news recap就可以了～

主观题（亲测超过字数也没关系）：
6. Which of these 4 simultaneous scenarios would you put as the main story on the front page of your website or begin your broadcast with and why? (suggested word count: ~100)
a) EU Parliament in Strasbourg, France is surrounded by armed protesters who have broken through barriers and are threatening to enter. Several heads of state are trapped inside. No one hurt, so far.
b) US president’s plane en route from Washington DC to London, with the president on board, lost radio contact with the ground 15 minutes ago.
c) A passenger plane flying from Singapore to Beijing crashes in Vietnam. Early reports say no survivors among the 268 people on board.
d) A tropical cyclone has come ashore in the past 6 hours, along the coast of Myanmar. Vast areas of the coast are underwater, buildings and infrastructure are destroyed. Scores of deaths are certain, but numbers are unknown at this time.

7. In your opinion, how soon does a news development become “too old to be news”?  (suggested word count: ~25)

8. You’re assigned to cover a charity golf tournament at an exclusive country club, an event which features white, black, Asian and Latino athletes. You find out that the club has a whites-only membership policy, although the issue hasn’t been raised by any of the celebrity golfers nor has there been any public criticism raised.

You are presented with two choices: Report the tournament without reference to the exclusionary policy, focusing on it solely as a charity event; Or include the fact that the players of colour wouldn’t be allowed to join the club, and seek comments from club officials and local activists who fight against discrimination.

Which approach do you take? How would you justify your decision?  (suggested word count: ~150)

9. As an interviewing reporter, describe a person you would most like to speak with anywhere in the world? (Cannot be a famous person, cannot be a relative) And Why? (suggested word count: ~75)

10. Name 3 international English language news outlets you consume regularly. Name a  couple of typical features of their offerings. What do you like best about this outlet? What do you dislike or feel could be improved? (suggested word count: ~150)


3.8面试回顾：

两位女面试官（应该是HK local）时长10-15mins

大概问到的问题有：
1. 关于本科学校及其就读体会
2. 本科期间是否有发表文章
3. Why journalism?
4. 实习期间的pitched story ideas及其撰稿内容是什么
5. 让你现在报道一个新闻 你想报道什么
6. Any questions for us

感觉整个面试会从applicant的自身经历出发问一些比较random的问题 比较casual 面试官们都很nice
建议大家熟悉自己的ps和cv内容～

希望之后能收到好消息
并对来年想申请MJ的学弟学妹有所帮助～
