Life

As a teenager, Schreiber learned Arabic while spending time in Syria.[1] He holds a law degree and worked as a journalist for the Lebanese newspaper Daily Star from 2006 to 2007. After that, he was a news correspondent for Deutsche Welle in Dubai and accompanied German Chancellor Angela Merkel on her first trip through the Middle East.[2] From 2009 to 2011, Schreiber served as a media consultant for the Middle East at the German Federal Foreign Ministry.[3]

Since 2012, Schreiber has worked as a host and Middle East expert for the German TV channel n-tv.[4] In addition, he also hosts the German-Arabic TV series SciTech - Our World Tomorrow which is aired on ONTV (Egypt)[5] and Sultanate of Oman Television.[6]

In January 2017, Schreiber switched to ARD aktuell, where he hosted the early and weekend editions of the Tagesschau, as well as the Nachtmagazin. From March 2017 to December 2020, Schreiber also hosted the NDR program Zapp – Das Medienmagazin as the successor of Inka Schneider.[7][8][9]

In 2017, his German book Inside Islam. Was in Deutschlands Moscheen gepredigt wird. (English translation: Inside Islam – What's Preached in Germany's Mosques) appeared in the German Econ Verlag[10] as well as the TV series Moscheereport (English translation: Mosque Report) on tagesschau24.[11][12] For the research of these two works, Schreiber and a camera crew visited almost 20 ordinary mosques in Germany and translated their Khutbah. The research was harshly criticized by the German newspaper Die Tageszeitung in March 2017[13] and German radio station Deutschlandfunk Kultur in April 2017.[14]

In September 2020, it was announced that he and Julia-Niharika Sen would be part of the news team of the 8 p.m. Tagesschau from 2021.[15] He read his first 8 p.m. edition on 4 January 2021.[16]

Schreiber lives in Hamburg with his wife and two children.[17]
