Aleksandar Metodijev

Award-winning investigative journalist, video editor, and project manager for cross-border investigative projects. I am a Bonn-based journalist, hold a degree in journalism from Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje, and have completed professional training across Athens, Luxembourg, Skopje, and Bonn. Alongside English and German, I am fluent in several Balkan languages. I am also a certified 3D animator, video producer, and video editor. I have worked at three Macedonian TV stations and served as a journalist, editor, and radio and TV presenter for Deutsche Welle in Bonn. As a workshop leader, I have delivered trainings on digital storytelling, strengthening media resilience to disinformation, addressing ethical dilemmas in investigative journalism, and digital security for journalists. Throughout my career, I have covered foreign policy, economics, human rights, and environmental issues. Between 2024 and 2026, I received five awards and recognitions for my work, including distinctions supported by the EU and UNESCO.
