The purpose was to increase the diversity of journalism teaching and research. Since its establishment, the Centre for Journalism has launched several innovative features including a journalist-in-residence fellowship and the introduction of a journalist’s oath similar to the Hippocratic oath.

The Centre offers study programmes at the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate.

The Centre's highest authority is a board chaired by Per Westergård, editor-in-chief at the daily newspaper Fyens Stiftstidende.

The Centre for Journalism publishes, in collaboration with the Danish School of Journalism and Journalism at Roskilde University, the scientific journal Journalistica. [4] It is a Danish peer-reviewed journal focusing on journalism research.
