Dr Paul Rowinski

Profile

Paul Rowinski

Dr Paul Rowinski

Paul has worked for the regional, national and transnational press for two decades. He first worked for various UK regional newspapers, before becoming a national newspaper reporter. Paul was a Berlin-based foreign correspondent working for The European, Scotland on Sunday and Times Educational Supplement, while also writing for other national titles, like The Independent and Financial Times.

Paul also worked as an assistant producer on the English section of Deutsche Welle TV, producing regular world news bulletins and as a guest columnist for the Berlin-based quality broadsheet, Der Tagesspiegel and occasional features writer for Die Zeit. Paul has covered stories from Germany, Austria, Poland, Italy and the former Yugoslavia. On returning to the UK he worked on the Daily Mail foreign desk.

He was previously course leader for the Masters in International Journalism at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow and prior to that delivered an undergraduate journalism degree for the University of Middlesex.

Paul’s PhD looked at different perceptions of European integration in the newspapers of Rupert Murdoch in Britain and Silvio Berlusconi in Italy, analysing both the discourse over Europe – and its political communication. Paul’s research also looks at the relationships between national identity and media discourse. He is currently researching the discourse over the euro and the current EU crisis.

Paul is fluent in German and Italian, is educated to intermediate level in Spanish and has a working knowledge of Polish.

He is currently an external examiner for journalism at Southampton Solent University and is a visiting lecturer at the University of Applied Social Sciences in Berlin (HMKW).

Paul is a member of the Association of European Journalists, Association for Journalism Education and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Paul has a passion for soft and hard martial arts, his bicycle, history, current affairs, writing - but most of all, his incredible wife and two boys.
