The different journalism professions

Many avenues open to journalism students

A journalist reporting a story

Journalism is an umbrella term for many jobs. Indeed, one can find as many

  • correspondents reporting on international regions, press photographers
  • press photographers
  • radio hosts and
  • news anchors,
  • fact-checkers or
  • those who write online.

As Élodie Agnès reminds us in her address to Studyrama for the École de journalisme (EDJ) in Nice, the professions are varied, and no news worker is stuck in one of them. Some started out as sports journalists before moving into online or national news. Others started out as columnists and went on to become editors-in-chief.

So, a school like EDJ allows students to specialize if they wish, but they don't have to. This specialization does not oblige them to stay on this path their entire career if they no longer feel the urge. Students entering the school, whatever their background, begin with a more theoretical first year, before moving on to a hybrid year of practice and theory.

The last year is spent almost entirely in the field, in internships, among other things, with hundreds of possible media outlets in France. The important thing is to develop a sense of good journalism: to be a privileged witness who brings the news to life.
