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.

“Inside Austria”

Everywhere in Europe right-wing and partly extreme right-wing parties are enjoying rapidly growing popularity. Austria was on the verge of getting its first government led by the FPÖ. In Germany, the AfD doubled their outcome at the last general election. What lessons can Austrian and German media draw from one another in their approach to the AfD and FPÖ? What happens if far-right parties are part of the government? How should the media deal with politicians who attack democracy?
