Past studies have found that media students in China struggle with selecting, understanding, and critically thinking about media content, and that the new media literacy proficiency of Chinese university students is poor and inadequate. The purpose of this study is to explore the educational strategies in cultivating students’ new media literacy by media educators within the new liberal arts framework through journalism in China. This systematic literature review follows the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines method. the researcher used Google Scholar and China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), the largest database in China, to conduct the first stage of literature identification, covering the period from 2013 to 2023. In CNKI, the study used keywords to search for article titles, abstracts, and keywords. The search keywords were "new media literacy," "media education," "liberal arts," "journalism education," and "China." The language of the retrieved articles was restricted to Chinese and English, and the time period was restricted to 2013 to 2023, and based on the pre-set inclusion/exclusion criteria, a total of 15 papers were selected. The results show that numerous universities globally, including those in China, have incorporated new media literacy initiatives into their academic curricula. Even in schools, media studies are taught, but the instructors and educators lack sufficient training and experience in media literacy.
