Master Information, Communication — Global Journalism and Communication

Global Journalism and Communication is a track within the master's program in Information, Communication at Université Paris-Panthéon-Assas in Paris, France. Journalism and communication as a combined field of study covers news production, editorial practice, media ethics, and the broader communication strategies used by organizations and institutions to reach audiences across borders. Students in programs with an international or global orientation typically study comparative media systems, international news coverage, cross-cultural communication, and the practical skills of reporting, editing, and producing content for varied audiences. Subjects commonly include media law and ethics, digital journalism techniques, international relations as they intersect with media coverage, and communication strategy for organizations operating across different countries and media markets. Graduates from this kind of specialization often pursue careers in international news organizations, foreign correspondence, global communication departments of companies and institutions, press agencies, and multilingual media outlets, while some continue into further academic study of journalism or communication. The degree takes two years to complete and is awarded as a master's, with instruction delivered in French, so applicants should be prepared to study journalism and communication topics through French-language coursework, readings, and assessments despite the program's global subject matter. Studies are scheduled to begin in September, and yearly tuition is 250 EUR. The Paris location places the program near numerous international press agencies, media outlets, and communication organizations that form part of the broader professional landscape for the field.
