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.

Global Networks of Religious and Political Extremists

Conversation

For many years, extremist, anti-democratic groups have been expanding their networks and political influence: in the US, in Europe, and beyond. Totalitarian political forces and religious allies unite their efforts against republican achievements, purposefully undermining democracies. They exploit clichés from the Christian faith to support their totalitarian vision of the dominance of the “stronger”. Who falls prey first: rights of women, rights of minorities, religious freedom—and ultimately: the idea of the universal nature of human dignity and the human-rights-based order built upon it.
