The CFJ is a member of the Conférence des Grandes écoles.[2] The CFJ is recognized by the French government and by the profession of journalists. The CFJ diploma is organized with the University of Paris 1 Pantheon-Sorbonne. Since September 2020, Sorbonne University and the CFJ's W school have been offering a double degree in "Science and journalism" which is equivalent to a Bachelor of Science degree in journalism.[3] In Lyon, CFJ courses are taught at the world headquarters of the pan-European television channel Euronews.[4]
Often considered as "the ENA of journalists", like the ESJ of Lille,[5] the CFJ has trained a large number of great journalists (Bernard Pivot, David Pujadas, Florence Aubenas, Pierre Lescure ...), and attracts each year nearly a thousand candidates for around fifty places.[6]
