Eva-Maria Lemke returns: New face in the ZDF morning magazine

Eva-Maria Lemke takes over the moderation of the ZDF morning magazine

In September 2024, Eva-Maria Lemke, an experienced journalist and moderator, will return to ZDF. From September 2, 2024, she will moderate the “ZDF morning magazine” and accompany the audience on the news day every day.

The ZDF editor-in-chief Bettina Schausten was positive about Lemke's return: "She is an excellent journalist-creative, precise and critical." Lemke also brings extensive experience from various ZDF formats, which makes their return all the more significant.

The "ZDF morning magazine" is an institution on German television and has been broadcast for over 30 years. The magazine offers current information from politics, business, sports and culture every day from 5.30 a.m. to 9 a.m. The role of Lemke is particularly important because it will lead the program at a time when viewers are looking for reliable and honest reporting.

The relevant news and topics are of great importance for many people because they help make informed decisions. With frequency and depth, the information from the morning magazine reaches a variety of spectators who want to be brought up to date. Thus, the moderation of the format not only affects the audience, but the entire society.

Eva-Maria Lemke is born in East Berlin and can look back on an impressive career. She moderated the "ZDF morning magazine" from 2014 to 2015 and was part of the cross-media ZDF news magazine "Today+" until 2018. Through her commitment in the RBB show "Abendschau" and in the ARD magazine "Contrasts", she further expanded its influence in German journalism.

The return of Lemke is also part of a change within the ZDF program. Her predecessor, Harriet von Waldenfels, switched to the NDR in Hamburg after over five years. This shows that the ZDF strives to introduce fresh and innovative approaches to the moderation.

The anticipation for Lemke's return is great. She explains: "I look forward to offering the viewers the right mix of current news and exciting stories." The relevance of the "ZDF morning magazine" in a constantly changing news landscape cannot be assessed high enough.
