RIAS BERLIN KOMMISSION

22 hours ago

A whirlwind two-week @riaskommission exchange program to the United States concluded on a high note with a spirited German-American celebration at @1014nyc. More than 50 appointments in Washington DC, Pennsylvania filled the schedule Ten German journalists who finished their fellowship met with 15 German students who just arrived for the start of their three-week ERP Transatlantic Program fellowship that starts with a week together in New York. After that the students fan out across the USA in smaller groups of one to three for two week visits to the universities of Nebraska, Montana, Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Indiana, Oklahoma, Arizona, Arizona State and New Mexico State to learn more about how young Americans learn how to train to become journalists. There were also a dozen New York area RIAS alumni at the gathering as well as some of our guest speakers such as @stephdujarric @helinargv @adam.reiss ... Read MoreRead Less

RIAS BERLIN KOMMISSION

22 hours ago

Same city, different world. A group of German journalists spent time on Staten Island to learn more about a conservative bastion that voted heavily for Republican President Donald Trump in the 2016 and 2020 elections. It’s just a (free) 20-minute ferry ride south of Lower Manhattan but feels like a world away. Borough President Vito Fossella, a former longtime Republican member of Congress from SI, spent an hour explaining why voters on the island felt so drawn to Trump as a different kind of leader who tried to tackle problems dear to their hearts such as crime and support for the police. He said SI has more police or retired police officers than any place in the USA— along with firefighters and sanitation workers. They all feel Trump is their guy and the Republican Party better attuned to their conservative interests. The eye-opening journey to the Republican hotspot in an otherwise overwhelming Democrat-dominated city included a lively discussion with a conservative TV personality John Tabacco, who sounded critical notes about media coverage that he argued is left-leaning. The Germans later returned to Manhattan for an interesting talk with CBS Sunday morning producer Dustin Stephens @riaskommission @majaweber1 @jnt.egr @karla_madeleine @matt_mattistrapp @laura.maria.weber @sophie.wamacher @juliecruzofficial ...

Spectacular views atop the Empire State Building with my 10 friends from Germany. Thanks to Brock Talbot for a fantastic journey into the sky above the Manhattan on elevators that get all their CO2-free power generated from descending elevators. 74 elevators in the 90-year old building. A @riaskommission journalist from German TV was on a recent RIAS tour and that ride helped inspire this story; www.daserste.de/information/politik-weltgeschehen/weltspiegel/sendung/usa-new-york-empire-state-b... ...

Before Broadway actress Angie Schworer went on stage at the Shubert theatre in “Some Like It Hot”, she spent a riveting hour talking with a group of German journalists on a #riasberlincommission fellowship in New York about her career, how Broadway survived during the pandemic, how she stays so enthusiastic after years on Broadway and many other things. @angieschworer ...
