Foreign Correspondent Unplugged: Journalistic perspectives on the USA and Germany

In a time of rapid change and complex challenges, journalists play an essential role in informing the public and helping audiences make sense of events at home and abroad. How are current debates in Germany and the United States being covered, and what parallels or contrasts can be drawn between the two countries?

Under the title “Perspective of a Foreign Correspondent: Political Discourse and Social Cohesion in Germany and the United States,” Clay Risen and Anna Sauerbrey, moderated by Steven E. Sokol, discuss the role of journalists in times of social change and political polarization and talk about their experiences reporting on both sides of the Atlantic.

The conversation will be recorded and published as part of the podcast “Foreign Correspondent Unplugged,” an initiative of the Goethe-Institut in the USA and the ACG.
