Rixa Fürsen
(Team 32), Head of Podcast bei POLITICO
“From news anchor to investigative reporter, I was able to try everything at the Academy. From the very beginning, I was encouraged and challenged like a real journalist—talking to politicians in the corridors of the Bundestag, on a reporting trip through Moldova, or in the podcast studio. Two years full of trust, team spirit, and fun. Today, I am Head of Podcast at POLITICO Germany—the journey here began at the Academy.”
