❤️🩹 “It is never easy, to be married to a patriot. But I admire him for what he does and what a tremendous example he is for our kids…”
Evgenia Kara-Murza, a Russian language translator and interpreter, is one of Putin's fiercest opponents. Her husband, Vladimir Kara-Murza, is in prison as an opposition activist - his wife is fighting for him and for a democratic Russia.
"What I do is not work," Evgenia says modestly but firmly. "It's also not politics, not diplomacy. You don't compromise with dictators. What I do is public activism." Her fight is for a democratic Russia and the overthrow of the Putin regime. She is staunchly opposed to nuclear weapons and advocates for a free press and fair elections. She knows all too well what that fight means.
During the FreedomTalk on November 28, Evgenia Kara-Murza spoke with our students Josephine Bayer and Nino Lindenberg.
The FreedomTalk is independently edited and conducted by our tech and journalism students.
It is our great intention to enable the students on their learning journey to experience big topics and personalities.
FreedomTalks means focusing on the concept of freedom: Free opinion, freedom of speech, and free choices.

It's cyber security day! Don't worry we won't lecture or tell you off.
Instead, we'd like to give you the opportunity to hop into the perspective of our hacker and find out if you yourself have been a victim!
"First, I create a QR code that leads to a malicious website.
Second, I lay the trap, putting that QR code all over the streets.
Third, your AR Glasses will scan the QR code as soon as they come in sight. Or maybe you get curious and scan it with your smartphone.
Finally, I have access to all the juicy details of your life. I watch you 24/7, collect all the information you never wanted to be revealed and then I go ahead and sell them on the dark web!"

Big thanks to our tech talent and software engineering student Stefanie Keichel, who enabled this post with her ideas and expertise!

Wir trauern um Vollrath Freiherr von Heintze. Er übernahm 1993 die Journalistenschule Axel Springer, die seit 1986 Journalist:innen für die Marken des Hauses ausbildete. Fünf Jahre leitete der ehemalige BILD-Journalist die renommierte Schule. Noch heute sprechen seine damaligen Schüler:innen in den höchsten Tönen von ihm. Vollrath Freiherr von Heintze war ein geachteter, geliebter und nahbarer Mensch, der die zentralen Eigenschaften eines Journalisten verkörperte: Ehrlichkeit, Unbestechlichkeit und Menschlichkeit.
We mourn the death of Vollrath Freiherr von Heintze. In 1993 he took over the Axel Springer School of Journalism, which had been training journalists for the company's brands since 1986. The former BILD journalist headed the renowned school for five years. Even today, his former students speak highly of him. Konrad Freiherr von Heintze was a respected, beloved, and approachable person who embodied the central qualities of a journalist: honesty, incorruptibility, and humanity.
🚀Apprenticeship with Axel Springer at FreeTech - being part of the big picture from the beginning.
In addition to our Journalism and Tech Students, we also train future talents, who are doing their apprenticeship with Axel Springer.
The main goal is to help apprentices to gain valuable hands-on practical experience. In a real job role, our trainees learn the right skills in day-to-day business and experience different facets of Axel Springer.
We are happy to pass on our knowledge, and share valuable insights, emphasizing interdisciplinarity in the interchange of journalism and technology.
It is also a great opportunity for the apprentices to build their professional network within the company, building bridges, which will hopefully benefit their careers in the future.
So today, we are happy to welcome:
- Kim, who has recently started her apprenticeship as an office management assistant, focusing on office management, communication, administrative support, and project management.
- Badwi, who has chosen a career as a media clerk (in digital and print), focusing on Social Media, project management, concept development, and marketing.
- Folco, Media Designer, working on conception and design of our Social Media content, digital and print products, layouts, and video.
It is a pleasure for us to be part of your learning journey and to support you in your first career steps.
Together we develop, grow, and build the future of journalism!

🇩🇪 💃 Frei nach dem Motto „Diven haben keinen Stress“ besuchte It-Girl @julianfmstoeckel die Journalist:innen an der FreeTech - Axel Springer Academy.
Die Moderatorinnen des Hintergrundgesprächs, Charlotte und Josephine fanden heraus, in die Rolle von welchem toten Promi Julian gerne mal einen Tag schlüpfen würde, was seine erste Amtshandlung als Königin von Deutschland wäre und, dass er sich durchaus vorstellen könnte, im Unterhaltungsjournalismus zu arbeiten.
Trotz der gelösten Stimmung des Abends wurden aber auch ernste Themen besprochen: vom Hass auf Social Media über das Anderssein bis hin zur WM in Katar. Julian F.M. Stöckel bot unseren Journalist:innen auch Einblick hinter die Entertainer-Fassade und dafür sind wir alle sehr dankbar. Toll, dass du bei uns warst, Julian! @miriberlinmom und @klickklickkristin freuen sich bereits auf das nächste Mal.
🇺🇸 💃 Under the slogan "Divas have no stress" It-Girl @julianfmstoeckel visited the journalists at the FreeTech - Axel Springer Academy.
The moderators of the background discussion, Charlotte and Josephine found out which dead celebrity Julian would like to swap life with for one day, what his first official act as queen of Germany would be, and that he could imagine working in entertainment journalism.
Despite the relaxed mood of the evening, however, serious topics were also discussed: hate speech and the World Cup in Qatar to name just a few. Julian F.M. Stöckel offered our journalists insight behind the entertainer facade and for that we all are very grateful. Great to have you with us, Julian! @miriberlinmom and @klickklickkristin are already looking forward to the next time.

🇩🇪 Interessante Menschen treffen, das berufliche Netzwerk erweitern, Berührungsängste abbauen – auch darum geht es in der Ausbildung an der FreeTech – Axel Springer Academy for Journalism and Technology. Perfekter Gast für diese Ziele: Ulf Poschardt, Chefredakteur der WELT.
Die Moderatorinnen Juliane und Vanessa konnten ihm entlocken, worüber er als Siebenjähriger sein erstes Buch schrieb, welchen Beruf er ursprünglich ergreifen wollte und wo seine riesige Plattensammlung bald ein neues Zuhause finden wird.
Team 32 ist kurz davor, das an der FreeTech – Axel Springer Academy erlernte Wissen in den Redaktionen umzusetzen und somit war dies auch eine der letzten Abendveranstaltungen dieser Art für die Nachwuchsjournalist:innen. Es folgen noch ein spannender Gast aus dem Showgeschäft und ein CEO.
Vielen Dank für den Besuch und bis zum nächsten Mal, lieber Ulf!
🇬🇧 Meeting interesting people, expanding your professional network, breaking down fears of contact - this is also what training at FreeTech - Axel Springer Academy is all about. Perfect guest for these goals: Ulf Poschardt, Editor-in-Chief of WELT.
The presenters Juliane and Vanessa were able to find out what he wrote his first book about when he was seven years old, what profession he originally wanted to take up and where his huge record collection will soon find a new home.
Team 32 is about to put the knowledge they have learned at the FreeTech - Axel Springer Academy into practice in the editorial offices and so this was also one of the last evening events of this kind for the up-and-coming journalists. An exciting guest from show business and a CEO will follow.
Thank you very much for coming and see you next time, dear Ulf!

🇩🇪 Seit über einem Jahr ist Johannes Boie nun Chefredakteur von BILD. Eine Tradition hat sich dabei bereits herausgebildet: der regelmäßige Austausch mit Journalistenschüler:innen.
Dabei sprach er nicht nur über Schlagzeilen und seine Arbeit als Chefredakteur. Er gab auch konkrete Tipps für den Einstieg in den Journalismus, verriet ein paar persönliche Dinge und für welches Gericht er die in Berlin heimische Currywurst jederzeit stehen lassen würde.
Vielen Dank für den tollen Austausch, lieber Johannes, und bis bald.🙌
🇬🇧 Johannes Boie has now been editor-in-chief of BILD for over a year. One tradition is already emerging: the regular exchange with student journalists.
He didn't just talk about headlines and his work as editor-in-chief. He also gave tangible tips on how to get started in journalism and revealed a few personal things. And he disclosed which dish he would ditch the currywurst native to Berlin for any day.
Many thanks for the great exchange, dear Johannes, and see you soon.🙌
