Marcus is a German journalist who is specialised in complex trans media storytelling projects.
Marcus trained to be a journalist at the Georg von Holtzbrinck School of Journalism. Since 2005, he considers himself as a entrepreneurial journalist, co-founding the research-start-up Follow the Money, followed by the transmedia development company Chapter One (www.chapter-one.de). Together with his team, he managed to realise a couple of award-winning transmedia reporting projects: For instance, they tracked so different things such as German e-waste smuggled to West Africa, a long-gone painting lost by a Jewish family during the National Socialist dictatorship in Germany, the blurred traces of the forgotten peace movement before the Balkan wars or the first sensor reporting about the German milk industry, telling these stories across the channels (print, radio podcasts, web / social media, TV documentary) and using innovative technologies from GPS-sensors to ruminal sensors helping to tell the stories of the “Superkühe”, the latest project).
