Under the background of intelligent era, the cultivation of compound talents in journalism and communication discipline is not only in line with the direction of education reform in journalism and communication discipline, but also in line with the objective requirements of economic and social development. Based on this, this paper puts forward three suggestions: improve the discipline layout of “smart age + journalism and communication discipline” and strengthen professional construction; enrich the textbook resources in the era of wisdom and promote smart teaching.
