biography

During the political change in 1989/1990 in Salzwedel (Saxony-Anhalt), Staud worked on an information sheet for the opposition New Forum and made the decision to become a journalist. A little later he worked for the newly founded Altmark Zeitung .

After completing school and community service, Staud studied journalism (diploma) and philosophy (minor) in Leipzig and Edinburgh from 1991 to 1998 . During and after his studies he worked as a freelance journalist, among others for AP , MDR info , the daily newspaper and Die Zeit .

From 1998 to 2005 he was political editor for the time in Hamburg and later in Berlin.

Staud has been working as a freelance journalist since 2005, still for the time , but also for other newspapers such as Süddeutsche Zeitung or Friday and for radio stations such as Deutschlandfunk or SWR. In 2007 he founded the online magazine klimaretter.info together with the taz journalist Nick Reimer . He mainly deals with the extreme right in Germany and issues related to climate change.

Together with Nick Reimer, Staud received the Otto Brenner Prize in 2012 in the media project prize category for the online platform Der Klima-Liegendetektor .

For research on the state's response to violence against refugee shelters, he and colleagues from Zeit und Zeit Online were awarded the reporter's prize in the data journalism category in 2016.

In 2017, Staud, along with Carel Mohn , Eva Freundorfer and Sven Egenter, received the Environmental Media Prize in the “Online” category for the communication platform klimafakten.de.

author

Staud's first book On the moped to freedom - turning stories from the Altmark was published in 2000. In 2005 he published Modern Nazis , which deals with the NPD and the current development of the extreme right in Germany. Staud's thesis of a “fascization of the East” received wide media coverage. Together with the taz journalist Nick Reimer , he wrote the book “Wir Klimaretter - the turning point can still be achieved” in 2007. In 2009, von Staud published the book Green, Green, Green is Everything We Buy: Lies until the Image is Right . In the same year, together with Holger Kulick , he published the guidebook Das Buch gegen Nazis , which, like Modern Nazis, was published in a licensed edition by the Federal Agency for Civic Education . In 2012 he and Johannes Radke published the book New Nazis , which describes the change in the extreme right. In a review by Deutschlandfunk it was said: “The new book is also written in a catchy manner, without being overly simplified, knowledgeable and detailed. [...] Toralf Staud and Johannes Radke remain pleasantly factual, neither overestimating nor underestimating the danger from the right. "
