École supérieure de journalisme de Paris

Its origin was in the Collège Libre des Sciences Sociales founded in 1895 by Dick May (pen name of Jeanne Weill, daughter of the rabbi of Algiers), and other supporters during the Dreyfus Affair.

Intended to give students a broad knowledge of politics and economics, it did not award a separate journalism degree by name until 1910.

Especially during the Dreyfus Affair and the rise of the université populaire movement, they wanted to create a place for study of the new field of social sciences and emerging thought in economics.

She and other progressive French citizens were disturbed by the inflammatory press and the discriminatory attitudes that contributed to the initial conviction of Dreyfus; they wanted to improve society by encouraging higher level work in social studies.

Today the graduate school prepares students to work in diverse positions in the media field: radio, television, newspaper, and online websites.
