Field Trip: Media Day in Frankfurt on October 18, 2019

The IMKR, in collaboration with the DAJV, is inviting ten students from Siegen to join an excursion to the Frankfurt Media Day on October 18, 2019, at the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.


Following the Hamburg Media Day, the Institute for Media and Communications Law (IMKR), in cooperation with the German-American Lawyers’ Association (DAJV), is organizing a field trip for 10 students from Siegen to the Frankfurt Media Day, which will take place on Friday, October 18, 2019, at the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.

Under the theme “Newspapers in the Digital Age,” the following events will take place:

  • Guided tour of the online newsroom and print newsroom
  • Presentation by a former U.S. correspondent (Andreas Ross, political editor at F.A.Z.)
  • The work of a legal editor (Constantin Baron van Lijnden, editor at F.A.Z. Einspruch)
  • Discussion, snacks, wrap-up, and get-together

The train departs at 7:54 a.m. from Siegen Central Station. Return trips are available hourly after the event concludes in the afternoon.

Students in the German and European Economic Law program at the University of Siegen who are interested in—and preferably have prior knowledge of—media law are cordially invited to apply by October 8, 2019, via email to imkr@uni-siegen.de, submitting a letter of motivation, resume, and transcript. Prof. Rösler and the IMKR team are happy to answer any questions you may have.
