At least five good reasons to consider joining the EJTA network
- Become part of a professional network of journalism education providers
- Stay updated of the latest developments in the field
- Benefit from the regularly organised EJTA events
- Use this website to promote your school or university
- Set up student and teacher exchanges
Is EJTA membership for my school?
- EJTA-members are both vocational and academic institutions and mid-career training centers.
- Mid-career institutions, involved in forms of professional continuing education, have their own section within the EJTA.
- Each institution pays an annual fee of €1000. The yearly fee covers the Association’s daily management and administration, the members’ participation to the EJTA Teachers’ Training and Annual General Meeting and other projects.
- Across Europe, many journalism schools—especially smaller or emerging institutions—depend on the resources, expertise, and cross border collaboration that EJTA provides. That’s why we are inviting a number of EJTA schools to consider offering additional annual financial support on top of the current membership fee. Extra support (a mimimum of €1000) would help ensure that all members, regardless of size or budget, can continue to benefit fully from our network at a moment when trusted journalism and media literacy are more essential than ever. This is entirely optional, but it would make a meaningful difference. If you feel your journalism school might consider this, please contact us at director@ejta.eu and we can provide more information or contact them.
