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.

“Thema des Tages”

While Russia wages war against Ukraine, the US is increasingly undermining the Western alliance. Donald Trump threatens to annex Greenland, targeting European territory. In the meantime, Vladimir Putin plans to reshape the continent’s entire structure of power according to his own vision. How can Europe break from its dependence on the US? And how probable is a Russian attack? These will be the topics explored during the live recording of the Der Standard news podcast “Thema des Tages”.
