Career

From November 2014 to July 2020 she worked for RT Deutsch in Berlin , the German-language Internet branch of the government-related and state-financed Russian TV network RT . At the beginning, she moderated a weekday 30-minute magazine called The Missing Part, which from 2016 was only broadcast once a week and was partially replaced in the program by other formats such as the regular media review 451 Degrees .

From 2017, Der Missende Part received its own YouTube channel and, after a restructuring, consists of shorter, but again more frequent videos with interviews and comments. This own channel was again the most successful format on RT deutsch in 2019 and early 2020 after a rather subdued start according to regular evaluations by the online newspaper Russland.news . In July 2020, RT's Kosubek format was discontinued.

Despite her many years of employment at RT deutsch, Kosubek hardly speaks any Russian. According to an interview in 2018, however, she planned such a longer stay. In this conversation she compares the work of RT deutsch with that of Deutsche Welle in other countries.

Media reception

Due to her work for RT Deutsch , Kosubek came into the focus of the media public at the start of her program The Missing Part in November 2014, whereby her appearance was primarily discussed. The Munich Merkur called it "Putin's beautiful face for Germany" and the daily newspaper Die Welt called it the "most visually striking feature of this journalistic offensive from Moscow".

In the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung , Michael Hanfeld characterized Kosubek as a performer of manipulated messages with ascribing guilt to the USA, whose "apparent lack of need provides a wonderful foil for the galloping madness that she conveys with her suggestive questions". In the FAZ, Olaf Sundermeyer presented his experiences with the missing part and Kosubek's interview style, which led him to recommend that anyone rejecting invitations from RT who values ​​their journalistic, political or academic integrity. Die Zeit and the Augsburger Allgemeine mentioned Kosubek in connection with the criticism of methods of “propaganda with a wooden hammer”.

In an interview in May 2017 - at the beginning of her work in 2014 - Kosubek described herself as an apolitical and pure mediator of the RT editorial team's content. However, she was politicized herself in the course of her work as a moderator. Danny Schmidt's research on The Image of Russia in the German Leading Media (2015) shows that criticism of Russia is usually personalized, with Jasmin Kosubek as the moderator.

A special media buzz generated, run by Kosubek interview Sigmar Gabriel as acting Foreign Minister RT German in the final stages of the parliamentary election campaign in 2017 granted, albeit it at that rather a question of journalistic integrity of the "Putin-station" or Gabriel's criticism of the AFD went and Kosubek was often not mentioned by name.
