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.

Why I’m – still – a journalist

Why did the two young, Tyrolean-born journalists Maria Retter and Viktoria Waldegger decide to pursue a career in this field? What drove them? Were there any role models? What challenges did they face then – and do they face now? What do they like about their job, and what truly excites them?
