On May 19, 2026, from 7 to 9 p.m., you can join our next Integral Journalism Salon to learn what self-organized “journalism” looks like when driven by communities.
Strategy consultant Rene Fischer and Republik Magazin co-founders and Team Flow experts Nadja Schnetzler and Laurent Burst will present three formats:
• neighborhood journalism
• traditional storytelling
• and simple, smart questions for conversations that bring people together
All three have extensive experience with grassroots and flow-based approaches. And Rene has lived without a fixed residence for many years, having managed projects in the South African township of Soweto and the Philippines, among other places, and founded two PR agencies in Iran.
Join us as the three of them share their adventures and as we redefine journalism in a completely different way by focusing specifically on the margins where its classic definition is gradually fraying.
The salon is free, in English, on Zoom, and limited to 25 participants (19 are currently registered). You can register here to secure your spot:
