– It is a fateful time in Europe, and Germany plays an important role. It is a privilege to be able to be in the heart of Europe, and try to understand what is happening, and convey it to the public. That’s what news’s new correspondent Zofia Paszkiewicz (42) says. She has roots from Poland and lives in Norway. The coverage area includes German-speaking Europe and Eastern Europe. Paszkiewicz starts the job in the new year. – I have followed European politics and social life with excitement. Now I’m really looking forward to having Europe as a workplace. Fluent in many languages Paszkiewicz has extensive news experience. She has had a longer temporary position in the foreign affairs department, and now works as a program manager in Studio 2. – Zofia knows both Germany and the core areas of Central and Eastern Europe well. She has clear journalistic priorities and ambitions, says news’s foreign affairs editor, Sigurd Falkenberg Mikkelsen. She is fluent in German, Ukrainian, Polish and Arabic. – And she has a background that gives a personal and deep understanding of the area, says Mikkelsen. Becomes a raspberry farmer Roger Sevrin Bruland has been a correspondent in Berlin since 2019. Now he is returning to Norway. He does not return to the foreign affairs desk at Marienlyst, but moves home to Stryn to become a raspberry farmer. Roger Sevrin Bruland has worked at news Nyheter for 14 years. Bruland’s descendants follow Poland’s political development with interest. – It will be exciting to see how the result of this autumn’s parliamentary elections in Poland will shape the role that the country plays in the EU, and in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The foreign editor is looking forward to getting Paszkiewicz in place and says that she will be an exciting contribution to news’s correspondent corps. – I think we will see a lot of good journalism in the future. The job in Berlin is particularly important as the center of gravity in Europe is shifting eastwards, partly as a result of the Ukraine war, says Mikkelsen.
