Journalism Under Duress from the Right

  • Date: 15.10.26
  • Location: Hamburg
  • Time: 17:30 h

Journalists are under increasing pressure. With the rise of populism, they are being targeted more and more by far-right groups. How can one conduct investigative reporting in far-right circles? How can far-right networks be uncovered? What risks do reporters face, and what do attacks on press freedom mean for journalism?

  • Anna von Garmissen, freelance media journalist and Associate Researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Media Research | Hans-Bredow-Institut (HBI)
