Thanks to the cooperation between the M100 Sanssouci Colloquium and Headliner, there is now finally a suitable occasion for the Potsdam premiere: the public Reporter Slam is the conclusion of this year’s M100 Young European Journalists Workshop, a multi-day seminar for young journalists from all over Europe, which is taking place for the 20th time as part of the renowned M100 Sanssouci Colloquium media conference.
In this super election year, the M100 Young European Journalists Workshop, to which 20 young journalists from 18 European countries have been invited following an application process, will focus on disinformation in election campaigns, how to recognise it and how to combat it in everyday journalism.
At the Reporter Slam, six of them will translate their newly acquired knowledge into ten-minute stage shows that are as entertaining and insightful as possible . The presentations will be held in English, with German translation provided. Musical highlights will be provided by the show band ‘Bommi & Brummi’. The show will be hosted by Jochen Markett, Co-Managing Director of the Reporter Slam organiser Headliner gUG.
