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.

Reporter Slam 2026

Germany’s most entertaining stage show for journalists returns for its fourth appearance in Innsbruck. Five journalists each have ten minutes to present their investigations in creative and varied ways. But only one of them can be crowned the evening’s Slampion. And it is up to the audience to decide who that is. Tunes by E43 will add a refreshing change of pace in between.
