dpa editor-in-chief Sven Gösmann says: “For the largest country office of dpa, especially in the election year 2021, we need an experienced and well-versed manager – we have found Thomas Struk in our own ranks. He can build on the successful work of his predecessor Thomas Pfaffe and will set new impulses for our important customers in East Germany. “
However, the field of work is not new to him. Before moving to Lower Saxony, Struk was active as dpa service manager in Magdeburg and as a volunteer for the “Thüringische Landeszeitung” shortly after the fall of the Berlin Wall. After studying journalism, Struk, who was born in Höxter, first worked in the foreign editorial department of the German service of the Associated Press in Frankfurt, before he started working for the dpa in April 2000 as a political correspondent for the Rhineland-Palatinate-Saar regional service in Mainz. From there he also took over several representations in the Tel Aviv correspondent office.
The dpa controls its regional reporting from seven state offices in twelve state services nationwide. Locations in addition to Berlin are Düsseldorf, Frankfurt / Main, Hamburg, Hanover, Munich and Stuttgart. The East Regional Office represents almost a quarter of Germany, with reporters and photographers in dpa external offices such as Potsdam, Cottbus, Magdeburg, Halle, Leipzig, Dresden, Chemnitz, Erfurt and Gera. The complete multimedia product consisting of text, images, graphics, audio and video has been edited and played out centrally at the Germany desk in Berlin since this summer.
