This training offers a good opportunity for journalists in Berlin to improve their skills in the field of comment. A clear opinion and good argument are crucial to convince readers and make complex topics understandable. In the past, journalists in Berlin have often written comments on political and social issues that were of great importance. For example, the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 led to a strong political and social change in Berlin. Journalists play an important role in analyzing and commenting on this change.

Berlin is a city with a rich history and political landscape, and there are therefore many exciting topics that journalists can use to write a comment. This training could help you to better articulate your opinions on these topics and thus make a contribution to the public discussion in Berlin.
