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.

Amira Hass

Covering and Analysing Ramallah

Conversation

For almost 30 years, since 1997, Jewish-Israeli journalist Amira Hass has been living in Ramallah in the Palestinian West Bank. Born in Jerusalem, she works as reporter, commentator and essayist for the Israeli daily newspaper Haaretz and as columnist for the Italian magazine Internazionale. She was the first Israeli journalist to settle permanently in the occupied territories. Her mother Hanna Lévy-Hass, from a Jewish family in Sarajevo, served as a Tito partisan against the Nazi occupation, survived the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp and emigrated to Israel in 1948. In 2002, Amira Hass was awarded the Bruno Kreisky Prize for Human Rights, because “her knowledgeable coverage was able to cross the boundaries drawn by the conflict”.
