Romy Hiller: The new voice of the Tagesschau is now enthusiastic!

A new era in the evening news has started: Romy Hiller has enriched the “Tagesschau” team at 8 p.m. since June 14, 2025. The 43-year-old, born in Wismar and grew up in the Kühlungsborn Baltic Sea resort, takes over the moderation of Constantin Schreiber, who accompanied the audience until May 25, 2023. Hiller not only brings experience with, but also a fresh perspective on the news that many people are interested in today.

Hiller has developed its way into the media. After graduating from high school, she completed an approximately two -year traineeship at Antenne MV. Her professional career started in 2005 when she was trained as a TV editor and moderator at RTL Nord. During her time at RTL, she worked as a moderator and correspondent for a whole decade before moving to ARD in 2018. There she was first in the economic editorial team of the North German Radio and was finally appointed the main presenter of the afternoon edition of NDR Info.

The way to the "Tagesschau"

Romy Hiller has continuously established itself on German television. She moderated the news program "NDR Info" and was active in several formats of the Tagesschau. From January 27, 2021, she spoke the morning edition, which will be broadcast at 9 a.m. and also presented messages on Tagesschau24 from December 2020. However, she cannot take her routine lightly - for her programs she uses an emergency slip with key points to prepare, which helps her to convey the action clearly and understandably.

The Hiller journalistic career is not only shaped by personal success; It also reflects the challenges that many women experience in journalism. Despite an increase in women's shares in the media, the way to management positions often remains rocky. According to a study, only 31 % of the contributions on radio and television come from female journalists, and men still dominate on the management of the management, while initiatives such as the journalist Association are committed to more equality. Even if Romy Hiller is now adding a prominent voice to the "Tagesschau", the gender discrepancy in journalism remains a hotly discussed topic.

A look behind the scenes

private lives Romy Hiller with her family in Hamburg. She is married and the mother of two daughters. Her curiosity about foreign cultures and countries is reflected in her free time - she likes to travel and appreciate the diversity that other cultures offer. This openness could also benefit her in everyday journalistic life, in which understanding is essential for different perspectives.

With her shot in the team of the "Tagesschau", Romy Hiller will not only give the news, but also the viewer: inside. We can be excited to see how she will address the audience with her distinctive way. At a time when the media landscape is changing, it brings a breath of fresh air and could help to accelerate the urgently needed change in the industry.
