Since its inception, the center has made a name for itself with several innovations, including: a. with the journalist award “The journalistic scholarship”, as well as with the introduction of a journalist's oath based on the model of the doctor's vow .
In addition to training at bachelor's and master's level, it also offers professional training and a minor subject that can be combined with a major in the humanities or social sciences .
The highest body of the Center is the Executive Board that the chief editor of the daily newspaper Fyens Stiftstidende is directed by Westergård.
The students publish the newspaper Lixen .
