Life and work

At the age of 15, Jung began to contribute as a freelance reporter to the regional daily newspaper Nordkurier on topics which included the year he spent as an exchange school pupil in Texas.[1]

In 2006, he moved to Berlin, enrolling to study business and law at Humboldt University, but he did not graduate. In 2011, he started his career as a journalist interviewing and editing coverage for the radio show Medienmagazin on radioeins, hosted by Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg.

Initially, Jung published uncut interviews on his YouTube channel. The German commercial television station Joiz.Germany began to broadcast episodes of Jung & Naiv six months later, but stopped in November 2014 when the station became insolvent. Notable guests on Jung's show were politicians, journalists and other commentators, including Peer Steinbrück, Jürgen Trittin,[2] Heiko Maas, Jeremy Scahill, Noam Chomsky, and Glenn Greenwald.[3]

In 2015, Jung shifted his focus to the Bundespressekonferenzen, the regular press conferences of the German government. In mid-April, he began to post shorter, topic-related videos excerpted from his full-length videos on YouTube. He also began a collaborative effort with Stefan Schulz, a journalist from the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung.[4] Other journalists and television programs, such as the heute-show and NDR's Zapp Magazin, have interviewed Jung or broadcast segments of his programs. Jung works independently and is supported by his web viewers through crowdfunding.
