In the AIGC era, facing frequent ethical issues such as fake news and privacy infringement, cultivating journalism ethics talents to rebuild and enhance public trust in journalism has become particularly important. This study attempts to analyze the experiences and dilemmas of journalism ethics talent cultivation in the United States, in order to provide a reference for journalism ethics education in China and achieve five "new" orientations: new content—promoting a comprehensive process of ethics education in large classrooms; new targets—providing ethical services to society; new methods—adopting platform dialogue-style learning and research; new professions—promoting the transformation of teachers into AI prompt engineers; and new talents—fostering talents with "three capabilities" and "dual integration". These recommendations are proposed based on the specific conditions in the context of China and have significant practical reference value for promoting innovation in China's journalism ethics education.
