It's easy to know about current world events. News is available anytime and anywhere in various media. But more and more people are turning away from them. Why do we find it so difficult to live in a world full of information?

COLLAGE NEWS
175 years after the founding of the first news agency in Germany and on the 75th anniversary of the dpa, the Museum for Communication Berlin is shedding light on the state of our relationship with news. Visitors explore their own habits, needs and knowledge.
The exhibition asks what people need to be well informed now and in the future.
Whether it's election results, sporting successes or tomorrow's weather: it's never been easier to know what's happening in the world. News is available everywhere at any time and its relevance is undisputed. Yet fewer and fewer people are interested in staying up to date. Why?
The first comprehensive exhibition on news in Germany examines our relationship to news and traces the historical development of news. It looks at a central player that most people know little about: the news agency. What role does it play in history and why do people need it today?
