Main festival theme 2026: Beyond Bubbles

Media and information bubbles are comfortable places to be. We live in them, create them and dislike leaving them. These bubbles are not just a digital phenomenon; they are the filters through which we select information, ignore other voices and cease to understand the reality around us. So how can we report on topics that people don’t want to hear about? How can we practise journalism that tests our assumptions rather than confirming them? And how can we recognise that our newsrooms often operate within a bubble?

Journalism festival The World Between the Lines is organised by the media and educational initiative The World Between the Lines, in cooperation with Central European universities. It also incorporates the international Erasmus+ programme. The festival connects the academic world with journalistic practice.

Festival is supported by Heinrich-Böll-Stiftung Prague.
