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.

From Narco Violence to Femicide:

How Women Journalists Create New Narratives

Conversation

Intimidation, threats, violence: in many Latin American countries, journalists risk their lives when covering corruption, organised crime, femicides or human rights violations. Mexico and Venezuela in particular are examples of how dangerous it has become to practice independent journalism. Journalists are compelled to develop new formats for reporting and collective remembrance. Where do new narratives about narco violence, femicide and abuse of power stem from? How can journalism create visibility where perpetrators bank on invisibility? And what is the role of networks, exile and international collaboration in times of growing repression?
