A weekend with a view

Look closely at what is happening.
Ilse Aichinger

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.

Street Papers

For people facing hardship they provide an opportunity to generate income; and for readers critical and exciting stories: Street papers are both journalistic products and social projects. How do editorial teams of street papers operate? What takes centre stage, the social aspect or journalistic quality standards? Or is this more than just a one-man show? Who are the people selling the papers and how has their group changed since the beginnings of street papers? Representatives of four street papers from three countries will provide their insight.
