1978, Pierre Miquel, the founder of the IPJ, imagined it as a school that would continually evolve and be open to advances in journalistic customs and practices. That is why, at the IPJ, we undertake to provide the best training for our students, to prepare them for the realities of professional life, today and in the future, and in all media. Because the programme revolves around practical experience in journalistic work, IPJ training is highly sought-after. Media organisations know that in recruiting from the IPJ, they will find determined, autonomous, and ready-to-function journalists, who are responsible, and used to working with a high degree of professional integrity.
