Nadia Zaboura<\/strong> is a communication scientist and linguist. She graduated summa cum laude with a Magister degree from the University of Essen. For more than 14 years she has worked as a freelance consultant for media companies, businesses, associations and foundations.

In 2025 she published the book \u2018Medien zwischen Macht und Ohnmacht\u2019 on the future of German journalism together with two academic co-authors. Her media criticism earned her a nomination for the audience award of the Grimme Online Award, and she received the Bert Donnepp Prize.

She also works as an evaluator for the European Commission, is a jury member and jury chair of the Deutscher Radiopreis, and sits on the board of trustees of the Grimme Research College \u2018Media and Society in the Digital Age\u2019.
