Abstract

This chapter aims to document through participatory observation the first-hand experience of teaching investigative journalism in a transnational university in China between 2018 and 2022. Notwithstanding that the Western notion of investigative journalism challenges and contradicts the Chinese party-state ideology (Wang & Lee, 2014), this chapter will explain what makes its teaching possible as a form of intellectual inquiry, a set of transferable skills, and a character-building experience in a politically sensitive educational context that, ideally, aims to transcend national boundaries through combining notions of Western liberalism with Chinese values. Transnational education can be defined as the provision of study programs in which the students are situated in a nation other than the one where the awarding institution is located (“Trans. Edu.,” 2013). This chapter discusses the delivery of an undergraduate module of investigative journalism within a program of media and communication studies for year 2 students in a Sino-British joint venture based in China.
