American Academy programs are frequently covered by radio, television, and print outlets. Representatives from the German, American, and international media are frequent guests at Academy lectures and are always warmly invited to register for programs that interest them. They are also invited to occasional press briefings, introductions of new Fellows, or a special lecture or event. The Hans Arnhold Center has also served as the site for several televised round-table debate programs.

The American Academy in Berlin has developed strong strategic partnerships with media organizations. NPR Berlin, for example, broadcasts a selection of Academy lectures live to an international audience. Academy programs are frequently covered in the newspapers Süddeutsche Zeitung, Der Tagesspiegel, Die Welt, and Handelsblatt, among other periodicals, giving information about Academy Fellows an audience across Germany.

A number of the American Academy's lectures, along with NPR's regular programming and the Academy's own radio show, "The Berlin Journal," are broadcast to an international audience by National Public Radio in Berlin, at 104.1 FM. Past editions of "The Berlin Journal" are archived on npr.org and in our Audio/Video Archive.

The American Academy in Berlin is proud to have a partnership with Die Welt and Welt am Sonntag, published by Axel Springer Verlag in Berlin.

Tagesspiegel,  the Berlin-based daily, publishes an annual supplement about the incoming class of Fellows, Distinguished Visitors, and Guests. The insert appears in September. 

The same supplement is also included in Handelsblatt, a daily business newspaper.

In conjunction with special events of particular transatlantic relevance, such as the annual Munich Security Conference, the Academy co-publishes a supplement for inclusion in the Süddeutsche Zeitung, featuring articles and commentary by world leaders and diplomats, alongside an editorial by Executive Director Gary Smith.

Since fall 2008 Phoenix Television and the American Academy in Berlin have cooperated to host the Kamingespräch (Fireside Chats), an interview-format program featuring discussions with prominent German politicians in the Hans Arnhold Center library.
