New journalism master's course planned at the University of Neuchâtel

 The University of Neuchâtel and the French-speaking Swiss training center for journalists (CRFJ) want to set up a university Master's course in journalism. To this end, they signed a letter of intent in Neuchâtel on Thursday. Students will be able to start the two-year course for the first time in September next year. By then, the University of Neuchâtel and the CRFJ will have to draw up the exact training modules for the Academy for Journalism and Media (AMJ). As the news agency SDA reports, the Master's course will consist of three pillars: journalism, management for media companies and media technology. Students will have to complete two two-month internships in a media company as part of the course. Funding for the new course is still unclear.
