Vorlaut is a young journalism publication in Vienna producing short videos on social media. It aims to highlight the voice of young, feminist, and inclusive perspectives, on social realities and issues often underrepresented in the Austrian media industry. Vorlaut means “overloud and forward” and the team "rebels against being silenced". It seeks to contribute to public debate and cover realities and lived experiences that are otherwise underrepresented.

The content produced takes new and innovative forms, speaks to young audiences in and beyond Austria, and is primarily published on social media (Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube). Since March 2022, the team has also produced content through its channel on the web television okto.tv/vorlaut-kollektiv, a non-commercial broadcasting platform financed through subsidies and public funding.

Founded in 2021, Vorlaut depends on voluntary work and functions on a tight budget but aims to develop its organisation and content in the upcoming years.

Addressing current political events and social issues from a personal point of view and with a clear anti-discrimination stance, some of its videos have had great success on social media, with the most popular videos generating up to 115,200 views on TikTok and 31,100 views on Instagram.
