Program

For three days, journalists will meet other knowledgeable mediators of information from different regions of the world in Innsbruck. In conversations with colleagues and other experts, visitors find out what is going on behind the scenes of the information on international events, which is often hastily and superficially conveyed, and can contribute.

Current social, political and cultural developments are the focus of the debates, from book presentations, exhibitions, doc-films and audio features. The Journalismusfest Innsbruck opens a window to the complex present in which we live.

Is Iran on the Brink of a Regime Change?

An ongoing war, escalating tensions and continued protests: Iran is experiencing another watershed moment. Under the weight of military confrontation, geopolitical pressure and internal repression, the situation is intensifying. While international conflicts dominate the headlines, it is ultimately the people of Iran who pay the price. How can journalists work when their sources are at risk, facts are hard to confirm and direct on-the-ground coverage is nearly impossible? And how are journalists in exile doing?
