Constantin Schreiber says goodbye: A heart for positive news!

Wilhelmshaven, Deutschland - On May 25, 2025, Constantin Schreiber, a concise journalist and news speaker, announced his farewell to the Tagesschau. After eight and a half years of collaboration, he said goodbye to the audience with emotional words and expressed his wish to devote himself to new challenges. In his last show, he appealed to the audience to believe in the good in life and quoted a Chinese proverb: "Wherever you go, go with your heart."

Constantin Schreiber, born on June 14, 1979 in Cuxhaven, is not only known as a news speaker, but also as a non -fiction author and writer. He has been moderating the Tagesschau since 2017 and from 2021 was part of the speaker team at the main edition at 8 p.m. Tagesschau reports that Schreiber expressed his wish to leave the daily show at his own request and said goodbye to his colleagues in the newsroom after his last broadcast.

career and success

After studying law and a journalistic traineeship, Schreiber worked in various international positions. Among other things, he reported for the Lebanese daily Daily Star and worked as a media officer in the Federal Foreign Office. In this area, he received the Grimme Prize for the “Marhaba-Arriving in Germany,” in 2016 with the integration of migrants. In his work, Schreiber has always taken care of taking up social issues and raising awareness of cultural diversity.

Schreiber is also a well -known author. His books, including "Inside Islam" and "The Candidate", were noticed by both readers and the media. The latter triggered controversial discussions, while "Inside Islam" was translated into over twelve languages. In 2023 he was attacked during a reading at the University of Jena, which raised the debate about his reporting on Islam again. Here he stated to withdraw from such topics based on personal threats. Despite this criticism, his contribution to the media landscape remains undisputed.

personal backgrounds and education

Constantin Schreiber grew up in Wilhelmshaven and showed interest in different cultures at an early stage. A formative section of his youth was in Damascus for half a year, Syria, where he learned Arabic. After graduating from high school, he gained international experiences and completed internships in Egypt before studying at the University of Oxford.

his commitment to understanding and tolerance is also expressed in the founding of the German Tolerance Foundation, which is devoted to media literacy and the reduction of prejudices. Schreiber was always a journalist who has worked on topics that go beyond classic reporting and stimulate the promotion of dialogue.

After his farewell to the Tagesschau, Schreiber will continue to be present in public. His voice remains relevant with numerous publications and his commitment to social projects, even if the viewer is now being thrown on new faces. While he said goodbye to his colleagues and spectators, it is clear that Schreiber wants to continue to design the media landscape, regardless of the platform.
