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.

Festivals of Information

For five years, Journalismusfest Innsbruck has brought together journalists, researchers, artists and audiences to discuss media, the public sphere and democracy. In celebration of this minor anniversary, we want to reflect on our journey and share experiences, developments and perspectives along with festivals from other countries. Journalism festivals create spaces to address current issues concerning journalism and public communication. How have these festivals developed in recent years? Which topics make it to the stage, and what are the debates that resonate with the audience? And given the current challenges in journalism, to what extent can such events help us address the erosion of trust, disinformation and shifting media consumption habits?
