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.

Whistleblowing as a Democratic Practice

Conversation

Whistleblowing is a key mechanism of democratic checks and balances, capable of unmasking government and corporate corruption as well as human rights violations. Whistleblower Eileen Chubb went public with several cases of severe neglect in UK care homes and founded Compassion in Care in 2003 to support whistleblowers in similar situations. Iain Munro expands on her account with cases from the new book “Perspectives on Whistleblowing” that he co-edited.
