Welcome to DW

What we offer 

The DW Visitor Service offers media professionals and partner institutions of international cooperation the opportunity to take a look behind the scenes of DW, providing a platform for personal encounters and professional exchange.

How does DW, a global information provider, deal with the rise of disinformation and fake news? What does journalism signify in the age of artificial intelligence? How does DW contribute to strengthening press freedom and freedom of expression worldwide? How does it engage its target audience in censored markets? 

Our visitor programs are especially designed to meet your interests. In moderated discussion formats with our DW experts, you can delve deeper into your focus topics. If possible, we'll arrange a meeting with the language editors of your region. 

At DW, you can also experience a piece of German history. We'll take you on a guided tour through the impressive architecture of DW’s headquarters in Bonn’s former government district, or through our Berlin studios, situated at an old industrial complex listed as a cultural heritage site.  

Practical information

The Visitor Service programs are available in German, English and Spanish, with French available in Bonn. The visitor programs usually last two hours and are free, accommodating up to 15 participants. Visits are available on weekday mornings or afternoons. Please don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your individual ideas and wishes. 

If you can’t visit us, we're happy to attend your institution or conference or offer online programs. Due to high demand, kindly provide at least one month's notice, including your organization's name, number of participants, and visit purpose. Please send your request to visitor.service@dw.com.

We look forward to your visit and engaging in lively exchanges.
