Centre de formation des journalistes, French Grande Ecole of Journalism, part of the Panthéon-Assas University
The Centre de formation des journalistes is a specialized higher education school in Paris that trains students in journalism. The institution combines classroom instruction with hands-on work in actual newsrooms, so students learn how journalism functions in practice.
The school was founded in 1946 to train young people to report news with honesty after the war. Over the decades, it became a leading training institution and was the first school to offer a specialized program for video journalists around 1984.
The school's name reflects its core mission: preparing people to report news with integrity. You can observe students working in classrooms and newsrooms, learning to research and tell stories the way journalists do in their daily work.
The location sits on Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine, a busy street with good public transport access. Visitors and prospective students can reach the school easily and contact it to learn more about admissions and tours.
The school was a pioneer in video journalism education and was the first institution to offer a specialized program in this field. This pioneering spirit has remained today as the school continuously adapts its teaching to match the changing media landscape.
