The School of Journalism St. Gallen ( jsg ) was until 1989 the only publisher independent journalism school with three years of full-time education at university level (master) in Switzerland.

The JSG was founded in 1984 by Fritz Tuchschmid (Rector), Peter Wirth and Witold Netter. Practitioners such as Jürg Tobler and Peter Schellenberg as well as scientists such as Harry Pross , Thomas S. Eberle and Ludwig Hasler taught at it .

The training at the JSG in these years was divided into a one-year general course ( German , philosophy , logic , linguistics , sociology , contemporary history and journalism ) and a two-year postgraduate course (journalism seminars, lectures in political economy , political science , and craft subjects Print, radio and television journalism, internships in the photo laboratory, in the sound studio and in the newspaper layout).

In 1989 the training center went to the St. Galler Tagblatt (i.e. to Zollikofer AG ) and was first managed by Jürg Tobler, then by Ludwig Hasler. The school had an advisory board headed by the Rector of the University of St. Gallen , Rolf Dubs . After the takeover, JSG changed its name to “St. Gallen School for Journalism ”. The new sponsorship shortened the training to two years. The St. Gallen School of Journalism stopped teaching in 1995.

Since 1999 there has been a journalism school again in St. Gallen: Under the name "Media School St. Gallen", the Migros Club School offered an extra occupational "Course in Journalism and Media Work"; in autumn 2010 this was taken over by private individuals.
