| Semestre à Washington en ESJC3 |
Echanges universitaires USA : A Washington (DC) un programme d'échange permet aux étudiants de 3è année de passer un semestre en suivant une formation intensive de journalisme américain (cours et stages) à l'American University. Irlande : A Dublin un programme d'échange permet aux étudiants de 2è et 3è année de passer un semestre en suivant une formation intensive en journalisme multimédia à l'école de journalisme du Griffith College. Espagne : A Madrid un programme d'échange permet aux étudiants de 2è et 3è année de passer un semestre en suivant une formation intensive en journalisme multimédia à l'école de journalisme de l'Université San Pablo-CEU. Trois programmes d'échanges sont en cours d'élaboration : Argentine, Québec et Moyen-Orient.
L'ESJC conjointement avec l'ESJ Paris organise chaque année un programme d'échange avec l'American University à Washington DC.Le programme d'échange américainAfin de permettre aux étudiants de l'ESJC de bénéficier d'un double cursus et d'un double label, l'Ecole Supérieure de Journalisme de Paris a obtenu, en janvier 1997, un partenariat avec l'American University de Washington. Ce programme a été étendu en juin 2008 aux étudiants de l'ESJC de Casablanca. Aux termes de cet accord, nos étudiants pourront effectuer une partie de leur formation à l'Ecole de Journalisme de l'American University à Washington. Le "full semester" effectué aux Etats-Unis dispense la même période d'études à l'Ecole et permet d'obtenir, parallèlement au diplôme de l'ESJ, le "certificate of achievement" de l'American University.
Les conditionsLes étudiants souhaitant s'inscrire au programme d'échange doivent justifier d'un bon niveau d'anglais (1), de leur inscription régulière à l'ESJC (2), de leur passage en 3ème année de l'ESJC (3).
Mon expérience à American University à Washington D.C.
Janvier 2008 "... Tout se passe très bien a Washington ! J'apprécie vraiment ce système d’échanges ! Vendredi, nous avions une réunion avec des employeurs et les élèves passaient d un stand a l’autre afin de discuter avec eux pour faire un stage de 4 mois durant ce semestre...". Février 2008 : "J'ai trouvé un stage au Congrès Américain! ... je commence jeudi à travailler pour John Salazar, Représentant du Colorado. Je suis en stage tous les jeudi et vendredi et le reste de la semaine en cours" Février 2008 : "Je cherche une formation en sciences politiques aux USA pour compléter mon expérience américaine ; j'attends les lettres de recommandation de l'ESJ. Toutes les inscritions et recommandations se font sur les sites des universités (Columbia, Georgetown, NYU, Harvard, etc)". Mars 2008 : "je conseillerais à tous les élèves qui le peuvent de faire l’échange à American University, à Washington D.C. C’est une expérience enrichissante qui remet en cause tous les préjugés que l’on peut avoir sur les Etats-Unis. La majorité des Américains que j’ai vu ici sont anti-Bush, anti-guerre en Iraq et plutôt pacifiste. Le système américain est très ouvert. Les étudiants ont un choix important de cours, programmes de recherche, activités, associations… Les professeurs sont très proches des élèves et ont régulièrement des entretiens individuels afin d’assurer leur épanouissement personnel et professionnel. Les opportunités de stages sont nombreuses (et pas pour faire du café !). En stage au Congrès, je fais des visites du Capitole et du Congrès, écrit lettres et rapports de conférences… Aux Etats-Unis, les étudiants Américains et étrangers sont une ressource précieuse qui ne peut que bénéficier aux employeurs. Il y a souvent des salons durant lesquels les employeurs vendent leur compagnie afin de recruter des étudiants.En outre, la vie est beaucoup moins chère qu’à Paris. Enfin, c’est le meilleur moyen de devenir bilingue. Cependant, baguettes de pain, bouteilles de vin et surtout café sont indispensables à la survie de tout Français car ce n’est pas aux pays des hamburgers que vous apprécierez des mets raffinés ! Avril 2008 : "je conduis une grande étude sur la perception du conflit israléo-palestinien dans l'opinion" Juin 2008 : "je suis admise sous réserve de mes résultats à l'ESJ en master de Sciences Politiques à New York University. Bonjour, Je fais un programme de recherche sur le conflit israélo-palestinien. Pouvez-vous répondre aux questions de mon étude? Cela ne vous prendra que quelques minutes!

le programme du semestre ESJC à American University, Washington DC Unit I SEMINAR SYLLABUS - Fall 2007 The Washington Semester’s Journalism Program, a path of inquiry designed for students seeking freedom, adventure and excellence. In the seminars you will be exposed to many facets of print and broadcast journalism and all sorts of journalists, from those who cover the Pentagon to those who cover street crime in Washington. You will also meet wire service reporters, magazine editors, television and radio personalities, and foreign correspondents as well as public relations executives, press secretaries and leaders of public interest groups. The goal is to place you smack in the center of the churnings of influence in Washington, often considered the most powerful place in the world. Drink deeply of our city. This is where the nation’s laws are made, where global policy is shaped, where international news happens every single day. There is virtually not a trade or profession nationwide that is not influenced by decisions made in Washington, D.C. How does the press fit into all of this? You are here to discover the answer. All written assignments for this 8-credit course must be based on thorough reporting and clear writing, jammed with facts, anecdotes and quotes. When writing a story, be a relentless reporter and above all a perfectionist. That is, strip each sentence down to its cleanest, most powerful components. You will develop style and vocabulary, and of course, make certain to spell every word correctly! (Each word misspelled in a final paper makes the grade drop down one notch.) By the time the semester is over, you will know the difference between good and great writing. Additionally, you will learn how to excavate the human spirit through interviews, in our semester-long focus on The Art of the Interview. You will also learn the core principles of a professional reporter – curiosity, accuracy, tenacity, responsibility – and making your deadline. By the end of the semester, you will be able to:write a spot news storywrite a newsfeature and profilewrite an editorial on political/social issueshelp edit a newspaper/co-produce a class filmbe fearless in pursuing sources and leads COURSE DESCRIPTION. The course is divided into two components – a seminar and an internship that has an accompanying class. There is a separate syllabus for your Journalism Internship class. . Seminars will take place on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, with Thursdays and Fridays reserved for internships. Weekly seminar schedules will be distributed each Wednesday, listing dates, times, names of speakers, and directions to off-campus seminar locations for the next week. As the semester progresses, classes each week will be balanced among lecture, discussion, and scheduled presentations. You will be expected to contribute meaningfully to class discussions, which means you will need to keep up with readings as they are assigned. You should read carefully and critically, taking notes, so that you are prepared to discuss and apply the material intelligently. FOR EVERY SEMINAR, REMEMBER TO…Be Prompt! Arrive at each seminar at least ten minutes early. We are inviting prominent, busy people to give up their time. Please be respectful and never show up late. Get a good map of the city and become acclimated with the lay of the land and Metro routes as soon as possible. Be prepared for some last-minute schedule changes when speakers must cancel due to breaking news. You will be notified of changes via phone calls, or by a note on the Dunblane main bulletin board. Show up! Attendance is mandatory. You may not miss seminars to work on internship activities. Health problems or mandatory travel plans are the only acceptable excuse for not being present, and only if you contact me well before the start of the class. Unexcused absences will quickly deflate your final grade. Speak! You are expected to be outspoken in class. Challenge speakers, and challenge each other as well! It is only in the debating, sharing, even clashing of ideas that you can charge, educate and inspire those around you. And that is ultimately what journalism is all about. Write! Not only will the seminars help you make sense of the topics and issues addressed by the guest speakers and in discussions, but it will also guide you through your own journalism assignments throughout the semester. It is only by studying the core elements of news writing, such as cultivating sources or perfecting the art of the interview, that you will begin to understand the true genesis of a good story. COURSE REQUIREMENTS/ASSESMENT The seminar grade is composed of five components. The breakdown is as follows: Written assignments: 35%, Class participation/attendance: 25%, Mid-term evaluation:15%, Final examination: 25% Attendance: Two late arrivals equal one absence. The only excused absence is illness or family emergencies, and you must alert the professor before class begins.Unexcused absences: Twice, and an A becomes an A-; three to four times and an A becomes a B-. And so on down the alphabet. SO ATTEND EVERY CLASS! WRITTEN ASSIGNMENTS. Throughout the course of the semester, you are responsible for completing several writing assignments. The writing assignments comprise 35% of the final grade. Each assignment is graded according to how well they are written, organized, as well as the quality and amount of sources and investigative materials. The mechanics of each type of writing assignments will be discussed in the seminar as well as in seminars with guest speakers. And of course, just like in the real news business, you must always make your deadline! All papers are due at the START of the scheduled seminar. Any paper handed in after the seminar has begun is considered late and will receive an immediate 5 point deduction. For each day after, an additional 5 points is deducted from the final writing assignment grade. Here are the types of stories you will be producing over the course of the semester. Spot News Story You will be sent out in the field to cover a breaking news story of your choice. This two-page assignment could range from a political protest march to an academic debate at American University. . News feature This will be a five to six-page news feature on a topic of your choice. The key elements of news feature writing, such as the approach, the focus, and adapting tone and style will be addressed. Opinion piece We will be hearing from many speakers who present a certain viewpoint on key media and political issues, such as abortion, gun control, race relations and global warming. For this paper, you will analyze an issue of your choice as if you were writing an opinion piece for a newspaper. Profile This will be a six-page profile of any of our seminar speakers, or of another fascinating Washington personality you encounter during your stay. Profiles must include solid background reporting and multiple interviews with sources beyond your primary subject. The Tenley Times Our class composes a newspaper each semester called The Tenley Times. Every student participates in the process, either in writing, editing, photography or layout. The Fall 2005 class of reporters for The Tenley Times will focus on issues that affect civil liberties, such as abortion, Gay marriage, gun legislation and the subsequent controversies surrounding Charitable Choice legislation. THROUGH ALL THIS WORK YOU WILL EMERGE AS A REPORTER WITH STRONG WRITING SKILLS! We will also be producing a class film starting mid-semester; one of our former films if featured on YouTube, if you plug in Washington Journalism Semester. This is a wholly class-conceived, directed and produced project. REQUIRED READINGS You are required to read The Washington Post daily, and The New York Times on Sundays. You will be evaluated on your knowledge of current events during class discussions, so please don't take this requirement lightly. You may also want to read Time, Newsweek or U.S. News & World Report each week and make it a point to catch an assortment of local and national news broadcasts each week. Additionally, each week there are handouts of magazine and newspaper articles. These supplements will focus on speakers for the upcoming week, and media issues to be discussed. It may sound like a lot to take in, but becoming saturated in the news is precisely what makes a good journalist. The following is a list of required readings for this course. All readings are assigned on a weekly basis and will be provided on your weekly schedule. Bernstein, Carl and Bob Woodward. All the President’s Men. 2nd Touchstone ed.

THE PATH OF THE SEMESTER Please note that the topics provide the intended path of course. As in life, this path will take twists and turns, depending on speaker availability, and the latest breaking news. Introduction to Washington Journalism/The First Amendment: Despite First Amendment Freedom afforded all journalists, there seems to be a great deal of restrictions on what exactly journalists simply can and cannot do! There are dangers of libel as well as other pitfalls. To understand the complexity of a journalist job, we will discuss the rights, freedoms and some even newer freedoms, such as those established under the Freedom of Information Act. The Washington Landscape/LocalWe will take a look at how the city works and then how the press covers local issues. Do national newspapers differ from local ones? What is meant by a “national outlook?,” and does it shape outlook and content?The Washington Beat SystemThis segment of the course will examine the Washington Beat Reporter system and the nature of inside-the-Beltway journalism. What shapes the news story? Are there ethical concerns here? Who's Who on the Hill We will examine numerous journalistic jobs, such as press secretaries and speechwriters. Remember the old adage: “You must consider the source.” The Pentagon, White House, Supreme Court and the Power GameHow the press pool tracks presidential policy, the machinations of the legislative branch, the Pentagon and other power brokers. Think Tankers and Public Policy Wonks Who are think tanks and where do they come from? How do they get their message out? In order to properly understand the role of these non-government organizations, it is first necessary to take a look at how they interact with the press and shape opinion. The Broadcast Media This segment will sharply focus on the unique nature of radio and television news. We will begin by taking a look at the differences in approach between broadcast and print journalism reporters. As a result, we will uncover some of the requirements of a broadcast news presentation. Is it possible to deliver a quality story with scripted narration and pre-recorded items? Focus on Hot Button Issues Hot button issues shape the media daily line-up. These issues have the power to divide an electorate but also at the same time create strange bedfellows. We will examine the politics and procedures of covering such divisive issues like abortion, gun control, the environment, gay rights and drug policy, for example. Foreign correspondents/State bureaus It is important to note that the high-pressure environment of Washington’s Beat reporters that produces stories about Washington, it culture, and its policies, also feeds overseas audiences. The segment focuses on the mechanics of covering the US Capital for consumption abroad. Cyberspace and the Evolving Face of Journalism We will study the evolution print journalism from back-alley beat reporting to Cyberspace journalism. Today, there are new tools for the journalist, but are there new constraints and even less freedom? THE AMERICAN UNVERSITY’S ACADEMIC INTEGRITY CODE. As journalists it is always important to note when and when you are not using sources. It has been said that a journalist is only as good as their last source, but perhaps it is more important to remember that a good journalist always gives proper credit where credit is due. Therefore, please take a moment to review the American University’s Academic Integrity Code before you begin your first assignment. Academic Integrity. Additional standards of academic conduct are set forth in the University’s Academic Integrity Code that was provided in the registration packet and is available online. By participating in this program, every student has acknowledged her or his awareness of the Academic Integrity Code, and is obliged to become familiar with her or his rights and responsibilities as defined by the Code. Please see me if you have any questions with regard to the code. Violations of the Academic Integrity Code will be taken seriously, and disciplinary actions will ensue should such violations occur. You can learn more about the Code by going to http://www.american.edu/academics/integrity/code.htm.
