RIAS BERLIN KOMMISSION is in Bryan-College Station, TX.

6 days ago

Brussels based DPA journalist, Ivana Drmic won't soon forget the culmination of her three-week RIAS Berlin Commission Exchange Program from NYC to Washington, D.C. ending in Bryan-College Station, Texas in March. Ivana quickly learned the tremendous impact on a town that is filled with 70,000 college students and 300,000 people. The college football stadium holds 100,000 people, which is much larger than the biggest soccer stadium in all of Germany. She was hosted by RIAS alum Adrienne DeMoss, the Assistant News Director at KBTK-TV. She spent her days shadowing reporters covering important topics in Texas that also impacted communities across the state, nation, and globe. The topic of migration was felt deeply from the first day to the final leg of Ivana's RIAS journey."I met dedicated, hospitable journalists covering stories ranging from the high number of incarcerated veterans, some of whom are even on death row, to the overlooked Native American community facing multiple disappearances. I got the chance to follow meteorologists who continuously raise awareness about climate change – which appears to be a regular battle against those believing climate change is a hoax. I saw first-hand what impact a college can have on a town."A one day trip to Eagle Pass, Texas mid-week, revealed an unexpected, eye opening trip to the U.S. Mexico border for Ivana with RIAS Alum Yami Virgin of KABB-TV Fox 29 of San Antonio along with fellow RIAS journalists Madleen König and Sarah Möller."As I came face to face with that infamous border wall, we sat down with migrants who were sharing their terrifying journey to the United States. Their reasons and dreams of a better life on the other side hit me deep and left a lasting impression that I won’t be forgetting. We visited Mission Border Hope, an about 30-people-strong organization helping those crossing the border, supplying food, clothes, showers and a place to rest. One woman, 31-weeks-pregnant, told us she started her journey from Venezuela on February first with her husband. Once they crossed the Rio Grande, the day before, she was separated from him. "Memories that will last a lifetime for Ivana, spending time with incredible people in Texas and also visiting the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. ... Read MoreRead Less

Howdy, Y'all!As they say, Everything's bigger and better in Texas and German journalist Raphael Jung, a news editor for the ARD Morgenmagazin now understands the phrase first hand. The Spring 2024 RIAS fellow spent his station week in Tyler at KLTV with its streaming program East Texas Now. During his week-long visit in March, Jung experienced the innovative ways technology is embedded into the enhanced digital news gathering process at KLTV, learning from meetings with a dozen different journalists in the newsroom. The action-packed week was organized by RIAS Alum and KLTV anchor/reporter Lane Luckie. Raphael's schedule included political discussions with Mayor Don Warren, attending a County Commissioners Court meeting, touring a Christian Spanish-Language radio station and a stop at the American Freedom Museum in Bullard."I'm curious how the experiences I made during the program will impact my further reporting and my career as a journalist and I look forward to applying that knowledge acquired. At the moment, the only thing I know is that I really want to visit the U.S. again soon. This time, I'm very sure, it won't take another 15 years” he said. Jung was KLTV's ninth German RIAS fellow to spend time in their newsroom since 2017. Jung and nine other German RIAS fellows spent two weeks in Washington, D.C. and New York City before parting ways to experience television stations and news organizations in Texas, Florida, Missouri, Illinois and South Dakota. ...

Kicking off showcasing our station weeks with RIAS fellow Janna Linke and her visit to Sioux Falls, South Dakota. RIAS alumni Kevin King and Sam Wright introduced Janna to their news operation at Dakota News Now. Janna also visited Mount Rushmore, spoke to students at Augustana University and visited Startup Sioux Falls. “We may not be Silicon Valley, but we are Silicon Prairie!“ That’s what the President of Startup Sioux Falls said to me and something that really stayed in my mind. I encountered this pride and confidence in many places there. Sioux Falls is the biggest city in South Dakota with only 200.000 inhabitants and it’s the place for my station week. I really enjoyed my time here in the so called “Flyover State“, because it’s much more than people inthe rest of the US or even the world think it is. —said Janna Linke, RTL/NTV Cologne After the March program, German journalists spend one week visiting newsrooms across the country. This year our fellows traveled to Texas, Florida, Missouri, Illinois and South Dakota. We will be sharing their experiences in the coming weeks! ... Read MoreRead Less
