True Story Festival 2026
Overview
Intro
The True Story Festival offers unique access to world events.
Journalism is under pressure worldwide. Restrictions on press freedom, political and economic instrumentalization and the digital fragmentation of the media are calling independent reporting, which is essential for functioning democracies, into question worldwide.
The True Story Award, launched by the True Story Foundation in 2019, and the True Story Festival send an important signal to strengthen the role of the media. The first global journalism award recognizes first-class reporting and thus strengthens journalists worldwide in their work. The True Story Award honors courageous reporters around the globe who provide decisive impulses for shaping public opinion in their countries of origin. For the award ceremony, they are invited to the True Story Festival in Bern to present their work to the public. The prize and the festival provide a polyphonic view of local events worldwide - and thus broaden the perspectives and viewpoint of readers and festival visitors on world events.
