       Education

       A journalism school is a school or department, usually part of
       an established university, where journalists are trained. An
       increasingly used term for a journalism department, school or
       college is 'J-School'. Many of the most famous and respected
       journalists of the past and present had no formal training in
       journalism, but learned their craft on the job, often starting
       out as copy boys/copy girls.[citation needed] Today, in many
       parts of the world it is usual for journalists to first complete
       university-level training which incorporates both technical
       skills such as research skills, interviewing technique and
       shorthand and academic studies in media theory, cultural studies
       and ethics.
       Historically, in the United Kingdom entrants used first to
       complete a non media-studies related degree course, giving
       maximum educational breadth, prior to taking a specialist
       postgraduate pre-entry course. However, this has changed in
       recent years with journalism training and education moving to
       higher educational institutions. There are now over 60
       universities in the UK offering BA honours degrees in
       journalism. Postgraduate courses are more well-established, some
       of which are either recognised by the National Union of
       Journalists (NUJ) or the National Council for the Training of
       Journalists (NCTJ).
