Lecture series: The media makers 2024/25

The professional world in the media industry is changing rapidly as a result of the digital transformation: whether traditional business models, media production or skills requirements for employees - everything is being put to the test in the digital age. Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg has invited media professionals to a public lecture series to present their respective fields of work and describe the challenges and changes that digitisation is bringing to their professional field.

The series will take place from 16 October 2024 to 15 January 2025 in lecture hall 7 in Sankt Augustin. Every Wednesday from 4.30 to 6 p.m., the Department of Engineering and Communication will host a guest speaker from the media sector. They come to H-BRS at the invitation of Dr Tanja Köhler, Professor of Digital Journalism and Audiovisual Media. The practitioners will present a different field of activity from the inside every week in the lecture series "Die Medienmacher:innen" (The Media Makers) and will also discuss the career prospects for university graduates.

The lecture series is not just for students: it is of interest to anyone who wants to find out about media professions and how they are changing as a result of digitisation.

External guests are requested to register at the e-mail address tanja.koehler@h-brs.de.

After the presentations, all speakers will be interviewed and published in the magazine "Werksgelände". The interviews can be found here: "5-questions to ..."
