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.

Loneliness Affects All Ages

Conversation

Loneliness has been a human experience since thousands of years. In recent times, this issue has moved to the forefront: a lack of close interpersonal bonds, a non-existent social network and the absence of a community. Since the Covid pandemic, loneliness has also entered public and political discourse. We now know that an unexpectedly high number of adolescents struggle with loneliness. Alongiside psychological support services, the Austria-wide Plattform gegen Einsamkeit (“Platform Against Loneliness”) serves as an accessible contact point for people affected by loneliness.
