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.

How is Independent Editorial Journalism Keeping Up?

Conversation

Media companies are under big economic pressure. At the same time, independent journalism is a central pillar of democracy. Which are the measures required to ensure independent quality media can persist? What are the strategies publishers put in place?
In Berlin, daily newspaper taz will bid farewell to its daily print edition, expand the new weekly newspaper wochentaz and boost their online presence. Other publishers keep counting on the daily newspaper format—like Austrian daily newspapers Der Standard and Tiroler Tageszeitung.
How can you raise awareness within readers for the fact that good journalism needs to be paid for in order to be independent? What role should the state take in terms of supporting journalism? Is state support a threat to independence? How can foundations and funds contribute to strengthen quality journalism? What sets independent, non-governmental news agencies like Austria Press Agency apart?
