European Journalists, an endangered species?

2010-09-01T08:43:00.003+02:00

IHECS replies by setting up a new Executive master in European journalism – 1 year.

The 9^th February 2010, the International Press Association wrote an article titled “Brussels deserves its watchdogs”. The article refers to the dangerously decreasing number of journalists based in Brussels. In Brussels, there are now less than 900 journalists compared to 38 000 civil servants working at the European Commission, around 15 000 lobbyists and 751 Member of the European Parliament. Democracy is therefore at risk! This comes as a surprise when a growing percentage of our national laws originate in European legislation. Sadly, this slow disappearance of Brussels-based correspondents is not compensated enough by national coverage of the European Union.

There are many reasons; the current economic situation has deeply weakened the media sector; covering EU affairs is a complex task; manoeuvres from the Commission to control the whole information flow etc. However, Brussels more than ever deserves its watchdogs! Despite what is widely claimed, citizens are interested in knowing more about the impact EU legislation has on their lives. Suffice to mention the public reaction to the “rosé” or the GMO potatoes! This translation from complex technical jargon into concrete and clear terms for citizens is the greatest challenge of EU reporting.

In reaction to this situation, IHECS, an official Brussels-based high school, has decided to open a daytime executive master in European Journalism from September onwards. The course is structured around project learning and multiple partnerships with European bodies.

Lessons will run until April 2011. In April, May and June students will have to complete their end-of-course assignments. The group will be divided into smaller groups of three students. They will have to produce a written investigative piece with photos/illustrations.

Highlights of the master:

- Workshops are given by recognised professional journalists from across Europe who combine first-class teaching with practical experience in the field.

- Small group of students (20)

- In the heart of Europe, close to EU institutions

- Contacts with stakeholders

- Numerous media projects

- In- the-field investigations

- Constant contact with professionals

Eur@dioNantes Experience, come and see¡¡¡

2009-07-29T14:21:00.002+02:00

Eur@dioNantes, a European Radio station based in Nantes and supported by the European Commission, has recently launched the selection process of its upcoming European team of interns.

Eur@dioNantes is currently looking for high-level bilingual (in french) students in political science or journalism who are interested in European issues and who would like to get a formative experience in the world of New European Media.

The students, supervised by professional journalists, will discuss European information, talk about the local news from a European point of view, advertise all the innovative projects in Europe nowadays and give visibility to the emerging artistic creations all over the continent.

The internship will start on the 23th of August 2009 in Nantes and usually lasts 6 months. The students get a monthly allowance of about 390 €.

The attached documents will give more details on Eur@dioNantes and on the selection process of the next promotion. More information is also available on the website www.euradionantes.eu
http://www.euradionantes.eu/recrutement/recrutement.htm

Please feel free to forward this information to all those who could be interested by this initiative within your networks (Higher Education departments of your regional/local Governments, Universities…).
How it works : many European journalists gathered inside a local networkTo create a hub for European information, you must always work with European journalists, because they are the first to see what is going on in their own countries.The Eur@dioNantes team is composed of several young journalists who came from their countries to the training centre in Nantes. They are being coached by French professionals with loads of experience. For several months the whole newsroom have to create new ways of listening to European information. They have to immerse themselves into the local background and compare what they see and hear to the wider frame of European newsgathering so as to open new perspectives and consider the implications of what is happening, be it on the cultural, economical, social or political level.Those young students in journalism are therefore lucky enough to be trained in a unique background, and they start their career in a dynamic European environment.

A new tool for journalists

2009-06-11T21:35:00.001+02:00

Dear journalist,

We have the pleasure to announce the creation and official launch of our website: www.eurodatum.com

It is a directory gathering the best EU-related internet links. It is conceived to be regularly fed and enlarged, but we wanted to start with a sound basis (600 recommended links and 8 PDFs with information about the EU). It is available in English, French and Spanish.

It is addressed to EU experts, journalists/correspondents, national or international officers, professors, students, people preparing EU tests, bloggers, NGOs, consultancies, administrations/organisations seeking EU funds, etc. and in general, to anyone interested in EU affairs.

Eurodatum.com includes a section containing the best EU Media links, which can be very useful to follow the elections to the European Parliament.

Welcome and enjoy it¡¡

Lincoln Annual Meeting 2009

2009-03-11T12:00:00.004+01:00

En la edición de 2009, el congreso anual de FEJS tendrá lugar en Lincoln, situado al este de Inglaterra, del 2 al 7 de abril.

En octubre de 2007, la asamblea general de FEJS votó por unanimidad que el tema para el congreso de 2009 sería el desconocimiento de los bi-media. Desde 2007, los medios ambivalentes ha evolucionado y en la actualidad cubre una gran cantidad de elementos on line bajo el nombre de ‘plataforma multimedia’.

En toda Europa , los periodistas se enfrentan a redundancias como editores al darse cuenta de que un profesional de los medios puede dedicarse a la vez a cuatro trabajos, en vez de dedicarse exclusivamente a prensa, radio o TV – los periódicos cuentan ahora con equipos de televisión para dotar de contenidos sus páginas web o los canales de televisión compilan pod-cast.
La multiplataforma es una forma fácil de definir a los periodistas que tenemos más de una tarea.

Durante cinco días, Lincoln se va a convertir en referencia para los profesionales que ven su trabajo afectado por el incremento de plataformas comunicacionales que compiten directamente con los medios tradicionales y con el trabajo realizado en ellos. ¿Nos debemos adaptar a los nuevos tiempos? ¿Es ésta la mejor solución? ¿Estamos preparados para ello?
