Publix
Publix is a house for journalism and the public in Berlin-Neukölln. Publix brings together civil society organisations and initiatives that strengthen journalism, advocate for social cohesion and educate people about digital media. We create spaces for cross-sector exchange, experimentation and productive collaboration. Through workshops and events, we communicate the value of civil society’s work to citizens, businesses and politicians. We are convinced that we can only meet the current challenges facing the media landscape and democratic coexistence with a strong civil society.
