A weekend with a view

Look closely at what is happening.

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.

Do Female Journalists Over 50 Have to Reinvent Themselves?

What actresses have long been discussing in public is also familiar to women journalists: ageing means losing visibility. The realities of experienced women are vastly underrepresented, and not just on television. In a world of boys clubs and alpha males, female experiences are systematically marginalised. On the other hand, clever and visionary female journalists know how to forge their new path.
