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.

REMEMBERING 2015

Escape, Migration, Media

Conversation

A discussion about the role of the media in covering migration since summer 2015: How do the media shape our perception, knowledge and acceptance of migration and migrants? How do the media mediate between the realms of politics and society? What is the media’s share in the shaping of public opinion, in the shifts and entrenchments in debates about escape and migration, in decreasing openness to dissent and increasing radicalisation?
