Networking and further training: Our offers for journalists

The scoopcamp is our annual conference for the journalism of the future. The all-day conference program focuses on the question of financing journalism. Together with over 130 experts from the industry, we talk about ideas and solutions and take a look at other industries. Experts from the field will share their insights and the specialist audience will have the opportunity to actively exchange experiences and challenges.

The NeueMedien.org platform offers a variety of free tools for the development, planning and project management of new business areas. We developed "Neue Medien" in close cooperation with Neue Narrative in view of the challenging situation in the media landscape. We want to help founders, media entrepreneurs and all those who want to modernize their organizations. Our toolkit contains instructions and exercises, motivational aids and copyable templates on the topics of organizational development, product, content, marketing and other basics.

If you have already founded a start-up and are in the early stages or have a prototype that you would like to take to the next level, our incubator is the right program for you.
