An extraordinary day for interested parties of all ages! On September 19, Germany turned into a real media paradise: The first ARD news day attracted almost 700 citizens to the country's large broadcasters. From the first idea to the presentation - everyone had the chance to immerse yourself in the exciting world of news production!

Whether children, young people or seniors - something was offered for everyone at the nationwide ARD news day! In lively workshops, the participants not only received exciting insights into the daily processes of the media world, but were also able to become active themselves. In Dortmund and Cologne it was elementary school students who produced children's radion news with a lot of enthusiasm, while in Mainz older generations were in front of the camera to present their very own news. In Frankfurt, young people took over the microphone and were the stars of their own show!

media literacy in the focus

The ARD and its partners declared the “Year of the Message” in 2024, and this event is a crucial step towards media literacy. In cities such as Bremen, Erfurt and Stuttgart, visitors were given the unique opportunity to visit the studios behind the scenes and learn how the editorial offices work - from the topic selection to the finished broadcast.

A particularly valuable highlight was the online initiative "Mix in! At the Tagesschau", which enabled the participants to virtually explore the editorial areas in Hamburg. Here they learned in workshops how messages are created in simple language - an invaluable contribution to accessibility!

direct exchange and practical tips

The ARD news day was not only a platform for the media landscape, but also an important opportunity for the exchange between the audience and the editorial team. Visitors experienced up close in Berlin how reporters are inspired by the complex topics of federal politics and how they research messages. In workshops, the participants received valuable tips on dealing with disinformation. How do you recognize fake news? The journalists gave practical advice on how to expose fake content yourself!

And the best thing: Many participants were allowed to lend a hand themselves! In Munich, for example, pupils wrote their own radio messages with the help of professionals. In Saarbrücken, daily interns converted their ideas into a short news film - and creativity knew no limits! Young people were even able to create contributions to the broadcasters' social media channels and thus produce their own content.

The ARD news day was a complete success and an impressive example of how our society can actively deal with media literacy. Further exciting information and insights are available on ard.de/Medienkompetence.
