Life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Katharina Elsner completed her traineeship at the Weser Courier<\/em> in Bremen and subsequently honed her journalistic skills at the Reutlingen Reportage School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your focus is on reports, radio features, and portraits \u2013 long-form formats based on thorough research, proximity to the protagonists, and narrative depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Katharina Elsner has been working for renowned media outlets like Deutschlandfunk for many years, and NDR<\/em> as well as for newspapers and magazines like FAZ<\/em>, Taz<\/em> and The time<\/em>. As a scholarship recipient of the \u201eRiffreporter Masterclass Science Journalism,\u201c she has intensively engaged with topics such as robotics, caregiving, and life in old age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your works have received multiple awards. Among other things, one received NDR<\/em>Media awards for a feature about a football club involved in combating right-wing extremism, which is being targeted for its stance. NDR<\/em>A colleague once described her working method this way: \u201eKatharina carries a key within her that opens doors to people who actually wanted to keep them locked.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This attitude shapes her journalistic work to this day. She considers research in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and the East German provinces particularly important\u2014in places where social developments become visible but often receive little media attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
