When research becomes stage art: Reporter Slam in Koblenz
On November 3, 2026, the Kulturfabrik Koblenz transforms into a stage for live journalism. At the Reporter Slam, five journalists present their own research in pointed, personal, and entertaining short presentations. The audience experiences an evening blending readings, storytelling, media critique, and vibrant stage shows.
Journalistic stories with voice, attitude, and tempo
Each contribution gets ten minutes to transform research into a captivating narrative experience. Photos, videos, and music can enhance the presentations. This creates a special reading atmosphere where journalistic expertise meets linguistic artistry, timing, and personal perspective.
Five reporters, five research topics, one audience award
The themes showcase the diversity of the reporting profession: from societal observations to surprising encounters and complex stories from everyday life. The focus is not on dry news but on narrative quality, precise research, and the ability to tell reality in an understandable and impressive way.
Among the participants are Constantin Pläcking from SWR, Christian Thomé from Trierischer Volksfreund, and freelance journalist Nils Frenzel. The evening will be moderated by ZDF television journalist Christina von Ungern-Sternberg. Musical accents will be provided by Luca Bradley.
Journalism in cultural discourse
The Reporter Slam takes place as part of the SWR Future Days 2026, themed Between TikTok and Village Square – the Future of Regional Journalism. The evening poses the question of how journalism maintains closeness, trust, and relevance in a changing media world.
The audience decides
At the end, the audience votes on which contribution was the most convincing. The winner takes home the winner’s trophy. This makes the author encounter immediate: the people behind the news not only stand on stage but also engage directly with their audience.
Conclusion: A literary experience for curious minds
The Reporter Slam Koblenz combines reading atmosphere, journalistic research, humor, and social relevance. Those who appreciate storytelling, media, and extraordinary stage experiences will experience journalism up close here. Admission is free, but registration is required due to limited seating.
