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.

Right-Wing Politicians’ Image of Women

A Winning Formula?

Conversation

They are both charismatic and radical. Following Angela Merkel’s exit, on paper, they are the most powerful women in Europe. Giorgia Meloni, Marine Le Pen, Alice Weidel. All of them stand at the helm of parties promoting a strictly biological notion of gender, tolerating nothing outside the traditional nuclear family. What makes Europe’s right-wing women such successful politicians? Do hardline messages resonate simply because they are voiced by a woman?
