Shortly before the midterms the RIAS program was a tremendous experience for me. It really made me gain depth in US politics and the election system. Seeing how the Democrats fight to get back the house, talking to excellent US journalists and politicians about the transatlantic relationship, President Trump and how the US media deals with the big issue ‘fake news’, really made me think and even more curious. I especially enjoyed talking about how politics in the US and Germany should change to get voters back on track and also what the future of journalism looks like, since we all deal with the same challenges. – Altogether an amazing experience. Thank you so much RIAS Kommission!!
