Abstract

Journalists are a special and important professional group in China today. This paper intends to explore the various dimensions of journalists ‘ professional evaluation, analyze its impact on professional identity, and try to explore the logic of journalists ‘ professional identity construction from the perspective of self-evaluation and social evaluation. Through a questionnaire survey of 4170 journalists in China, the relationship between different factors such as satisfaction, loyalty, respect and trust are analyzed. In addition, research and field surveys in some areas were supplemented, including in-depth interviews with 22 practitioners. The study found that journalists ‘ professional evaluation directly affects their professional identity. The higher the evaluation, the higher the loyalty to the profession, and the higher the job satisfaction, which means the stronger the professional identity. The formation of professional identity is an interactive process of individual cognition and social shaping. It not only needs the continuous strengthening of self-identity, but also needs tolerance and recognition from the social level and balances the influence between self-identity and social identity. The research perspective of this paper is innovative, focusing on the relationship between professional evaluation and professional identity of journalists. Under the background of the spread of global journalism crisis discourse, it can comprehensively show the complex picture of China ‘s journalism reform.
