Silke Burmeister is a Journalist and Correspondent working for German Television.

Since earning a degree in broadcast journalism in 2004, I have, as producer and on and off camera reporter produced over 500 news segments and short documentaries around the globe, covering world news, entertainment, politics, science, human-interest stories & cultural topics for various television networks.

Specializing in: 
- field reporting: hard news / breaking news
- entertainment news: Oscars, Emmys, Critics Choice Awards
- celebrity, personality and human-interest stories
- film promotion: interviews with filmmakers, actors and musicians
- short and feature-length documentaries
- docuseries

For the past 15 years, I have worked with Germany´s largest television networks: Pro7, SAT1, ZDF, VOX and Arte to name a few.

ProSieben Television contracts me annually to produce the live red carpet coverage of the Academy Awards for all German speaking countries and audiences.

I cover press junkets, movie premieres and Hollywood´s finest red carpet events. I often interview cast and filmmakers of upcoming films and create compelling TV segments for German speaking audiences to promote American movie releases.

Additionally, I´ve covered US Election Specials and produced news segments specializing on California.

Over the past decade, I built a solid network of professionals and am fortunate to collaborate with excellent camera crews including cinematographers, sound recordists, make-up artists, still photographers and PAs.

Having been born in Germany and brought up in the West African country of Niger, I am fluent in English, French and German.
I possess broad knowledge on many different subjects, I am naturally curious and always looking for the next new challenge…
