In the context of media transformation, the cultivation of news and communication talents is receiving increasing attention. To adapt to the development of the times, the goal of cultivating news and communication talents should be expanded, which should include mutual infiltration and intersection to cultivate talents with philosophical and humanistic literacy and strong practical abilities. Philosophical hermeneutics is a discipline that explores fundamental issues such as human thought, language, and culture, and it appears to have no direct relationship with news dissemination. However, in fact, news dissemination is a medium for carrying and transmitting information, and it cannot be separated from the understanding and exploration of fundamental issues such as human thought, language, culture, etc. Therefore, from the perspective of philosophical hermeneutics, a deeper level of thinking can be conducted on the current cultivation status of news and communication talents in China, and optimization can be carried out. The experiment in this article showed that 62.5% of students believed that the infiltration of philosophical hermeneutics was very unimportant in the cultivation of news and communication talents, and 60% of teachers believed that the infiltration of philosophical hermeneutics was very unimportant in the cultivation of news and communication talents. It can be seen that philosophical hermeneutics has not attracted people’s attention in the cultivation of news and communication talents at present. Therefore, in response to these current situations, the article also analyzed the corresponding optimization paths.
