Dimitra Kyranoudi
Dimitra has been head of DW Greek since 2025, having previously worked as a political correspondent in Berlin. Her focus is on German-Greek relations.
She follows government and parliamentary processes in Germany as well as the shaping of Greek-German relations from a European and historical perspective.
"I was born in Kavala in northern Greece, grew up in Thessaloniki, studied law at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, and studied in Brussels through Erasmus. My next stop was Paris, where I did postgraduate studies in public law at the University of Paris 1-Panthéon-Sorbonne and then in legal philosophy at the University of Paris-Panthéon-Assas, where I wrote a doctoral thesis on constitutional law and did comparative research on the institutions of parliamentary democracy, especially the presidential institution.
My journalistic career began in 2012 at DW in Bonn: reporting, news, new media, missions. After further training at the DW Academy and short stints in the politics and documentation editorial departments, I have been reporting on political and Greek-German issues as a correspondent from the German capital since 2022.
Since January 2025, I have been head of DW's Greek program. It is a program with special historical significance that looks to the future with optimism and journalistic responsibility. I am fascinated by documenting the everyday life of parliamentary institutions and the decision-making processes that influence politics and economics in Germany and Europe.
In addition to journalism and law, I am interested in modern political history, from World War II to the post-war world. Berlin and Germany in general offer rich material for historical and political reflection."
