I joined the Master of Information Communication COMED B, following a reconversion. This course allowed me to find my way, thanks to the richness of the theoretical courses, the effectiveness of the many practical courses given by speakers from various professions as well as the possibility of doing internships. This allowed us to capitalize on experience, which is essential for our future job search. With my diploma in hand, I was able to enter the world of work with confidence!

This school has given me so much, that I had to give back to it. That's why I got involved in the life of the school, within the BDE.
EJCAM was very quickly an obvious choice for me. First of all, having all the teaching of a recognized school with the advantages of the region, how could I refuse to join? Secondly, Marseille was an obvious choice. For journalism, it's an extraordinary city! The richness of its streets, the diversity of its neighborhoods and the associative world that stems from it, provide a rich playground for young journalists in the making.
EJCAM, thanks to its small effectifs, guarantees personalized pedagogical support. During these two years of the master's program, I really felt supported by both the lecturers and the school's staff. The way the timetable is broken down allows for the right balance between theoretical and practical courses. The equipment is up to the effectives present at EJCAM. All students can use both microphones in radio and cameras in TV. The editing software is the same as that used by newsrooms. Once in the internship, we are absolutely not lost.
Personally, I have lived these two years with great happiness. I chose the radio specialty by default because I didn't want to wear the TV equipment. However, this second year in radio was extraordinary because even if I had no interest in this format, I learned a lot. The rigor, the speed and the editing are elements that will serve me well for any format. One might also wonder why there is no specialization in print or web media. The courses in these areas are maintained regardless of the specialty. This allows for versatility in all formats.
Finally, at EJCAM, thanks to these small effectifs, the teaching staff and speakers are very attentive. We are a force of proposal as in a real editorial office. As soon as we have a project, we can propose it and if it is feasible from a material point of view, the school is the first to go for it. I have absolutely no regrets. I felt at home in my class, and in confidence with the speakers. I encourage all future journalists to apply.

I arrived in Marseille in 2013, then European Capital of Culture, to start my Master's degree in Communication (Advanced Studies in Communication and Media - Societal and Digital Innovations, E-COM), after a degree in Political Science in Montpellier. Between 2013 and 2015, I validated my Master 1 and Master 2 at EJCAM. During these two years, I had the pleasure to listen to exciting lectures in theory and methodology of ICS (Information and Communication Sciences), on media and society, in writing (web, journalistic), in media economics, in general culture and to realize several professional and research projects.

I validated my Master's degree through continuing education, i.e. in connection with Pôle Emploi, and thanks to a financing from the region for the registration fees. After the research thesis in Master 2, two of my professors suggested that I should continue with a doctorate. My thesis director, Marie-Pierre Fourquet-Courbet (EJCAM-IMSIC), accompanied me in this process of preparation for the doctoral competition (which I obtained!) and then during my 4 years as a young researcher at theIMSIC (Institut Méditerranéen des Sciences de l'Information et de la Communication) and its axis 3 ("Immersions et influences numériques-médiatiques : productions-écritures, réceptions-expériences"). These years are also the opportunity to pass "on the other side": from student, to become an instructor and thus give courses to students during 2 years. In 2019, I will submit my thesis entitled "Communication against violence against women. From the creation to the reception process of gender diverting devices"(online). This has been one of the most powerful moments I have experienced to date, intellectually and emotionally. I would like to thank my thesis director for her benevolence and her excellent academic qualities during the follow-up of my doctoral research. We continue, moreover, to work together, via my postdoctoral contract at InCIAM(Institut Créativité et Innovations d'Aix-Marseille), which deals with public campaigns of the State against sexist and sexual violence, and via a collective research, the study "Com-Covid-19", benefiting from an ANR and InCIAM Amidex funding and dealing with the uses of the media and the regulation of emotions during the Covid-19 pandemic.

I had come to Marseille to stay for 2 years in order to obtain my master in Information-Communication. I finally stayed 8 years at EJCAM and IMSIC, and I obtained two degrees (master and doctorate) and two work contracts (doctoral and post-doctoral).

After obtaining my degree in international trade, I knew very quickly that I wanted to go into communication. The School of Journalism and Communication of Aix-Marseille appeared to be an obvious choice in terms of public training in the area. Not knowing which communication speciality I wanted to go into, I made several requests for training within the school (event management, digital, research...). I was finally accepted in RECICOM. This training was, for me, a real chance to discover certain concepts of communication and to deepen my current knowledge. The richness of this master's degree lies in its wide range of courses which encompass both the theoretical aspect, with studies of authors' research and communication models, and the practical aspect with a real education about media, campaigns and communication techniques. This training allowed me to better understand the media world that surrounds us. I no longer have the same view of the information I read or hear, whether on television or in the press. I think it is very important to underline this point, at a time when information is transmitted very quickly, in an ultra-connected world.

Moreover, thanks to the various situations of creation of communication campaigns, I was able to start in the active life by having solid references. There is an undeniable quality in the panel of professors and professionals, passionate about their work and who manage to captivate an entire room on current topics. To sum up, if you want to specialize in communication and media, the school is for you!

The school was still called EJCM when I graduated in 2006. I spent two beautiful years there, completed by internships at France Télévisions, to which I dedicated my thesis, "What place for the public service in the media coverage of sports? Study of the Stade 2 program". I would like to take this opportunity to thank Marc Bassoni, who was my internship supervisor and who advised me in the writing of my thesis. His economics classes fascinated me, as did Benoit d'Aiguillon's classes on the history of television. There were 12 of us in our master's class in Journalism info com and I had as friends Gao Ke, Thomas Delage and Pierre Nebouy, with whom I am still in contact. The EJCM also allows us to create links! Today, I am a journalist for the magazine La Nouvelle Equipe Française, created by Lucie Faure and Robert Aron and republished last November by the grandson of Lucie and Edgar Faure, Rodolphe Oppenheimer.

EJCAM helped me, 17 years ago, to develop a spirit of curiosity about new media, information and communication technologies and the ability to work in a team. I had the chance to collaborate with the staff of this school and to work there during my studies, allowing me to better understand the functioning of a network. Now, within the Decathlon group, I contribute to guaranteeing a second life to hundreds of thousands of sports products by deploying a digital and global strategy. This would not have been possible without the assets I developed at this school, with classmates who became my best friends and who will be, this summer, the witnesses of my wedding with Audrey, also from this class.
At the time, we were in charge of organizing the school's 20th anniversary. We ended up in the bazaar, in a funny state lol.

I left the Trans-Mediterranean Communication Center (TMCC) in 1987. Thirty-five years later, I would say that the school of journalism changed my life. I learned independence of spirit, a taste for "the other" and, above all, the possibility of moving the lines, simply by staying close to things thanks to the quest for the right word and tone.

For twenty years, I worked as a writer, mostly in the fields of architecture, landscape, art and design. I also practice photography and make ethnographic videos. I am therefore an artist-author, and as such a member of the SAIF. I also undertook a training of proofreader-editor which will allow me to continue working for a long time. I have never liked retirement.

With the complicity of Jean Baudrillard, I also created Pôle Nord - Pôle Sud - Équateur, the association which produces Écritures de la Terre, the book of immaterial art written by French-speaking teenagers around their cultural heritages, which I have been producing ever since. Écritures de la Terre is sponsored by the French Ministry of Culture and Foreign Affairs.
This portrait dates from the summer of 2000. It was taken with my Minox by Sabine Weiss, while I was visiting her in Grimaud. Recently deceased, she was the last representative of the French humanist photography movement.
