History

The European Journalism Institute was launched July, 2004 by The Fund for American Studies (TFAS) in response to a growing recognition that journalists must be empowered with the knowledge and skills needed to objectively and ethically report stories with credible and meaningful information. As economic growth advances, private enterprise burgeons, nations reconfigure, governments rise and fall, and globalization interconnects national economies and interests, it becomes increasingly critical that the public is presented with a fair and accurate picture of social, political and economic policies, decisions and forces.

Instructors and guest lecturers are drawn from the United States and Europe. Lecturers include economics and public policy experts, journalists who cover business and finance, and government and corporate leaders. Those selected to attend EJI will receive a generous scholarship to attend the institute.
