Media convergence has become an inexorable trend of media industry development. Media convergence has enormously transformed the concept, business format, model, method, platform and mechanism of journalism and communication (JC). An all media era is approaching. In this great revolution, journalism and communication education (JCE) is faced with a series of new problems and challenges. In the context of media convergence, these include: constructing the JC discipline; repositioning the cultivation model of JC talents; designing and implementing teaching systems and practical activities of JC majors in higher education; serving the economic and social development of a country through JCE; coping with the opportunities and dilemmas in global communication; and, enhancing academic and critical awareness to manifest communication freedom and media responsibilities in the context of global communication. In terms of these problems, practices of JCE in many countries and regions have initiated effective explorations and responses. To enhance the communication of academic research outcome and experiences of teaching practices, the School of Journalism and Communication & Television Arts at Hunan University and the Missouri School of Journalism at the University of Missouri are to jointly organize the 3rd International Forum for Yuelu Media and Culture Development, which will be held on 1st-3rd November 2019 in Changsha, China.
