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.

Telling the True Crimes

Conversation

Whether in documentaries, podcast series or dedicated magazines: true-crime formats enjoy great popularity. But what is true crime in fact? What does it mean? How do journalists working on true criminal cases operate? What is key? And what might be the impact of the illustration of violent crimes on readers and listeners—on our society?
