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.

Female journalists for the reconstruction of Syria

Conversation

Even one and a half years after the Assad regime was toppled, Syria remains in a state of political limbo. It is still unclear how this multi-ethnic state can confront its past. Starting in 2025, the taz Panter Foundation initiated several months of workshops for female journalists from everywhere in Syria who are battling for justice, reconciliation and independent journalism in their country. A discussion about the special role of female journalists in public discourse and the importance of international projects to promote free media and speech in Syria.
