Welcome to the platform for Global Journalism Education
The education we provide is based on the fact that journalists in today's globalizing world need to be acquainted with more than the traditional tasks of producing content for a traditional newspaper, TV or radio program. But they also need to be familiar with various online and new media production and have a global perspective when producing journalistic content.
Traditionally, journalists worked as print journalists or with broadcasting, either radio or TV. Today, journalist working in media houses need to be familiar with print, photography, radio and TV including editing and working on the web. This is the basis in general journalism.
It is important that the education reflects that the journalistic profession is both an academic one and a handicraft product.
Media houses cannot afford having journalists not doing the job professionally.
