Conseils de journalistes is a journalist training platform launched by CFI and France Médias Monde, positioned as a free educational tool. According to the site, it offers more than 70 free videos in French, English, and Arabic, aimed at “journalists around the world.” Rather than a general introduction to journalism, its content focuses on specific public-interest topics and reporting methodologies.
The platform is organized into five main collections: solutions journalism, journalism and gender equality, journalism and health, journalism and the environment, and journalism and fact-checking. The available content shows numbered videos under each topic; for example, the solutions journalism collection includes 15 episodes, the environment collection has 13, and the gender equality collection also has 15. The teaching format is mainly recorded videos plus supporting articles. There is no visible information about live classes, 1-on-1 coaching, assignment review, or a learning community.
The instructor lineup is one of the project’s strongest points. Contributors include journalists, editors, and presenters from RFI, France 24, AFP, TF1, Jeune Afrique, and others, as well as founders or media practitioners from projects such as StopBlaBla, InfoNile, and Fatabyyano. The content emphasizes international experience, with cases ranging from Tunisia, Dakar, Beirut, and Hong Kong to Cape Town. The platform supports French, English, and Arabic, but there is no Chinese-language option. The site does not mention completion certificates, credits, or professional credentials, so it should not be regarded as a certification-oriented course.
The pricing is very clear: free. Given its institutional backing, international instructor base, and 70+ video resources, it offers strong value. It is closer to a public-interest open education resource than a commercial online course. Payment methods, subscription plans, and paid add-ons are not mentioned on the site.
Its strengths are focused topics and strong practical relevance, making it especially useful for journalists covering the environment, health, gender issues, and misinformation. Its multilingual content also makes it suitable beyond a single market. The drawbacks are limited learner support, with no clear interaction, assessments, certificates, or structured learning management. For Chinese users, the lack of Chinese content raises the learning barrier.
It is suitable for journalists, editors, journalism students, and media training organizations for self-study or internal training. It is less suitable for learners looking for professional certification, Chinese-language instruction, or highly interactive coaching. The source text does not provide information about access from mainland China, so network connectivity and payment-related issues cannot be assessed. Alternative resources include Solutions Journalism Network, Reporters d'Espoirs, Sparknews, StopBlaBla, egab.co, and others.
