Alice Bota (born 15 December 1979) is a German journalist, presently working for the weekly Die Zeit, and a book author. Born in Poland, she studied in both Germany and Poland and is focused on topics of Eastern Europe.

Career

Born in Krapkowice, Poland, Bota grew up in Upper Silesia. Her family emigrated to Germany in 1988 and settled first in Hamburg. She received her Abitur in 1999 from the gymnasium in Pinneberg. She studied German literature, politology and sociology at the University of Kiel, and won a scholarship in 2001 to further study International relations at the Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań. She continued her studies in Berlin and Potsdam, and wrote her thesis partly in Warsaw.[1]

From 2005 Bota studied at the Deutsche Journalistenschule in Munich. A Praktikum at the weekly Die Zeit during that time led to her employment as a political correspondent in 2007.[1] Her main emphasis was on Eastern Europe. She also worked as a correspondent reporting for the Tagesschau in Ukraine.[2] She was a guest of the political talkshow Presseclub with moderator Jörg Schönenborn several times, including the theme "Ruhe nach dem Sturm - hat die Ukraine eine Zukunft?".[3] In May 2015, she was a guest in a Streitraum panel discussion on the conflict of Russia and Ukraine at the Schaubühne, titled "Denk ich an Russland ...". It was moderated by Carolin Emcke.[4]

In 2012, together with Khuê Pham and Özlem Topçu, Bota published the book Wir neuen Deutschen (We new Germans), which coined the term "Neue Deutsche".[5]

Awards

In 2009 Bota was awarded the Axel-Springer-Preis for young journalists for her article „Wo Geburt und Tod sich treffen“.[1]
