These three RIAS-weeks in October 2018 were just incredible! There simply is no better opportunity to learn more about the US, about the politicians, parties and people who shape the
country! I really appreciated getting in touch with high ranked experts from politics and media in Washington DC and New York as well as I enjoyed talking with people outside this „bubble“, e.g. at St. JamesOctober 31, 2018 Church, New York or during station week in Bend/Oregon. RIAS truly is a life-changing experience for every journalist and the friendships and networks built-up thanks to RIAS will hopefully last forever!
