Anna Lishchynska

A multilingual journalist, editor, and interviewer with experience working at the leading German television network ZDF and the Ukrainian television channel Novyny.LIVE. My approach is based on content and target audience analysis, proficiency in four languages, and expertise in modern digital tools.

In the media sector, I combine traditional journalism, a passion for cinema and modern digital strategies. During my five years working for leading German and Ukrainian media outlets, I have learnt to transform complex topics into engaging stories that resonate with a global audience.

My career is closely linked to the German broadcaster ZDF: at the ZDFzeit editorial office, I worked on the documentary series ‘Tatort Ukraine’, was responsible for the accuracy of the material and the translation process from Russian and Ukrainian into German, and in the programme department I was involved in script analysis as well as discussions on series such as ‘SOKO Köln’ and ‘Ein Fall für zwei’.

Thanks to my experience as an editor at the TV channels Novyny.LIVE and UA: Suspilne Movlennya, as well as at the magazine AgroTimes, I am able to conduct interviews with ease, analyze data in real time, and find a unique approach to experts in various fields.Today, I apply my journalistic experience to developing effective digital strategies. At companies such as Kelvinfilm on the @zdfroyal project and TUFISHOP, I managed social media communications, developed content plans and carried out data analytics.

I also shared my expertise at the ‘IT-Capital’ centre, where I taught a course I developed myself on creative copywriting and storytelling. In 2026, I am running workshops in German for entrepreneurs at ‘Impact Community’.

My education: I hold a Master’s degree in Journalism from Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and a Bachelor’s degree from Kyiv National Linguistic University, specialising in ‘Teaching German and English’. I am currently in the process of obtaining a second bachelor’s degree at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz, specialising in Film Studies and Audiovisual Journalism.

I am fluent in Ukrainian, Russian, German (C1) and English (B2), which allows me to work easily in international teams, manage projects and create content that truly resonates with readers.
