US-Westküste: Reportagen, Portraits und Hintergründe

Kerstin Zilm
Los Angeles, USA

Kerstin Zilm has been working as a foreign correspondent since April 2003 for German Public Radio in Los Angeles. She was head of the US west coast studio for the Broadcasting Network ARD until April 2008. When her contract expired she decided to stay and established her own studio.

Initially, Kerstin Zilm wanted to become a radio DJ. That changed in 1990 during her internship at RIAS Berlin (Radio In the American Sector). During the exciting times after the Berlin Wall came down, she explored East and West with her microphone and realized how much she loves to work as a reporter. A scholarship to the U.S. in 1994 sparked her interest in this country full of unbeleivable stories. In 1998 she became junior correspondent in Washington for Deutschlandradio and returned for a whole year in 2001 to work as freelance correspondent from the capitol of the United States.
In California with it’s fascinating people, stunning landscape and gorgeous weather she found a wonderful place to live and work.

25.11.2024
Eine nie dagewesene Abschiebe-Aktion illegaler Einwanderer – das hat der zukünftige US-Präsident Donald Trump angekündigt und US-Städte bereiten sich vor. Zum Beispiel Los Angeles. Die Metropole hat nach New York die zweitgrößte Bevölkerungsgruppe von Immigrantinnen und Immigranten ohne Papiere. Die Stadt hat sich kürzlich zum Immigrations-Zufluchtsort erklärt. Kann das Donald Trump und seinen designierten ‘Grenz-Zar’ stoppen?

Ukrainian soldiers fresh from front lines bring music to LA

18.11.2024
When in February of 2022 Russian troops invaded Ukraine, thousands signed up as volunteers with the military. Among them were many artists. A group of them is now touring the United States. The music they play ranges from classical violin and opera to traditional Ukrainian folk and American country. They staged more than 150 free concerts as a sign of gratitude for the support Ukraine receives from the US in its fight for freedom.
