'Depolarising Journalism' workshop at EYE Berlin 2024
Fri 19 April 2024, 12.00-13.00 (CET)

Our polity is sick. Bad journalism is to blame. News media is polarised, picking sides and telling lies. Healthy societies thrive on open discourse where dialogue leads to constructive outcomes. Good journalism is honest journalism. It's time to depolarise!

 

The 'Depolarising Journalism' workshop outlines the issues with political journalism in Europe today - polarisation, partisanship, deliberate falsification - and challenges participants to engage in open political discussion. You will learn how to be an engaging reporter without relying on clickbait, fake news, or vitriol. Participants will leave the workshop with a working knowledge of the present issues in European political journalism, how to mitigate and overcome these challenges, and how they can help create healthy societies through good journalism.

​

The workshop was be conducted by Will Kingston-Cox, Cyrus Larcombe-Moore, Sam Crooks, Alexandra Luca and Adélie Aubin. We are pleased to be joined by MEP Lena Düpont.

Europinion also was honoured to present at the Youth Plenary alongside MEP Hildegard Bentele. Click here to read othe reflective article on our work at EYE Berlin by Will Kingston-Cox.
