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.

Russian Media in Exile 

Since the Russian attack on Ukraine in 2022, independent Russian media in exile have been subject to massive pressure. Besides state repression, a lack of funding makes their work more and more difficult. Formerly existing foreign funding was cut by the Trump administration, further exacerbating the situation. This panel will shed light on the financial struggles, survival strategies and the central role of these media outlets serving as an alternative voice to the authoritarian government under Putin. How can we strengthen their efforts and ensure their voices are heard?
