ARD “Year of News” enters autumn

The year 2024 was chosen by the ARD as the “Year of News” to raise awareness of the safe handling of news.

The “Get involved! at the Tagesschau” event on September 19th is intended as an activity for young and old. In this online event, participants will discuss the selection of topics with the Tagesschau team, experience in interactive workshops how to recognize disinformation in social media and learn how a Tagesschau edition in simple language is created.

ARD News Day in the editorial offices

The ARD News Day offers are aimed at the whole of society, from young to old, in cities and in the countryside. On September 19, for example, children and young people can help shape the news on several channels. In addition, various ARD media houses offer editorial visits for everyone, teachers receive suggestions for projects in class and seniors can produce their own program.

Young reporters present their news
