Media and Information Literacy Diploma

Media and Information Literacy Diploma
ENS Paris-Saclay and the Ecole Supérieure de Journalisme (ESJ) in Lille offer the inter-university diploma "Media and Information Education" (EMI).

Presentation of the diploma

The worldwide dissemination of digital content on the Internet and social networks is now massive, instantaneous and continuous and no longer belongs exclusively to media and information professionals.

In this context, understanding and deciphering information and its production and dissemination mechanisms have become a democratic issue, and require skills that are essential for the exercise of informed citizenship.

The knowledge of these mechanisms implies an apprenticeship to which the "Media and Information Literacy" diploma common to ENS Paris-Saclay and ESJ Lille intends to contribute through a demanding and ambitious offer.
