Katrin Bennhold is the Berlin bureau chief for The New York Times. A native German who spent most of her life abroad, Ms. Bennhold has been particularly interested in exploring the rise of the far right. In 2021, she hosted “Day X,” an audio series on far-right infiltration of Germany's security services that built on an award-winning print series and a 2019 podcast documentary on nationalism and populism in Europe, “The Battle for Europe.”
Previously Ms. Bennhold reported for The Times from London and Paris, writing about a range of topics from migration to gender. She covered a string of terrorist attacks in France and Britain and wrote a series of features on the fallout from the 2016 Brexit referendum.
Ms. Bennhold has been at The Times since 2004. She has an MSc in Economics from the London School of Economics and was a Nieman fellow at Harvard University in 2012-2013. She lives with her husband and three children in Berlin.
