Constantin Schreiber Axel Springer resignation podcast Iran‑Israel war

Journalist and former Tagesschau presenter Constantin Schreiber announced he will end his employment with Axel Springer on 31 December 2026, after joining the media group in September 2025. He said he had decided months earlier to pursue new opportunities and will take up a new, as‑yet‑ undisclosed role in 2027.

Schreiber described his time at Axel Springer as “very exciting”, highlighting his reporting from Israel during the Iran‑Israel conflict and his work on podcast formats. He initially reported from Tel Aviv and New York, later working from Germany for family reasons. Axel Springer confirmed the departure and said Schreiber will focus on his own projects.

His career includes eight years at the ARD, a stint as Tagesschau anchor, roles at n‑tv, the German Foreign Office, and the award‑winning series "Marhaba – Ankommen in Deutschland".
