TALK SERIES: “IRRITATE ME”
Bernhard Pörksen – Between Outrage and Insight

Thu, 25 Sept, 7:00 PM, Studio 14 – the rbb Roof Lounge, Masurenallee 20, 14057 Berlin

How can we foster open, respectful dialogue in an age of polarization and disinformation? What does it take to create a new culture of debate – and why can irritation be a catalyst for insight rather than an obstacle to it?

On 25 September 2025, renowned media scholar Bernhard Pörksen will join the “Irritate Me” series for a conversation with Peter-André Alt about the power of language, the responsibility of the media, and ways to create spaces for genuine discourse.
