OVERVIEW OF THE INSTITUTION

Ecole W, created by the Journalism Training Center (CFJ), is a unique private multidisciplinary higher education institution in France. It prepares young talents for the new requirements of companies, creative agencies, and digital media, which have been transformed by the digital revolution.

The school owes its name to the 5 W’s rule, a rule known by all professionals in media, communication, and design. 5 W’s stand for the 5 questions that every successful creation must clearly answer: what, why, when, where, who?
