Thanks so much for the feedback, and I tried to find more information about my courses and rewrote some parts.
Could you please check again to see if it's any better?
==================================================================================
I chose Master of creative industries program at University of Western Sydney, starting from March 2019.This two-year program provide a variety of trainings in theoretical and practical methods, which will help me better adapt converged media landscape.
I have been a reporter for almost 3 years. During the past three years at NTDTV, a renowned alternative Chinese-language news channel headquartered in New York, I gained critical training as a reporter starting from a street reporter, live correspondent to news editor. I enjoy working in the industry, and meanwhile see more challenges in the media landscape. Content creating is still of the most importance for television but connecting with the audience across the broadcast, online and other channels are gaining strategic importance in the industry. Those growing challenges prompted me to expand my horizons and gain a wider range of experience to be more adaptive to the industry.
My goal is to become an independent reporter who uses the full range of new media tools to bring a fresh perspective to viewers. The Master degree program has a strong focus on creative ideation with many opportunities to develop solo projects. Under this training, I will able to use some industrial methods to come up with new ideas and get them across the platforms to the different audiences, which at the moment I am not good at, for most time of my career I have been focusing on news reporting, and now it's the best time to develop a new skill set to build the foundation of becoming a truly communications professional.
The program includes a course with an internship placement. The course is called Convergent Media Internship in my second session, and I will have the chance to work with media outlets such as SBS TV, TVSydney or digital agency such as Tigerspike, Cutting edge. This internship will give me the chance to work and interact with some of the best media professionals in Australia. Through the internship, I will gain unique connections and real-world industry cases and exposure that will be tremendously influential in my continued career in Asia.
