British journalist and editor for BBC, Katya Adler's successful professional life has overpowered her off-the-radar personal life so far. More than two decades ago, Katya started making inroads in her journalism career, working for broadcasters across Europe.
BBC Journalist's Professional Life Overshadows Private Life
Katya first began journalism at the Austrian equivalent of the BBC. During an interview with the Radio Times, Adler shared several instances that she had to experience in her career-
"I’ve witnessed wars in the Balkans, the growing pains of German reunification, the introduction of the euro, and the rebirth of Europe’s former Soviet states, all of them yearning to join the European Union. I’ve lived through the euro crisis in Spain and watched it ravage friends’ finances and the future of their families."
She further added-
"From the colorful, music festival-like gatherings hosted by Italy’s new pop star politicians to hard-hitting anti-migrant patrols in Hungary, I met the Europeans from all walks of life dragging this continent to a crossroads....I have a breadth of experience as a war reporter too, covering wars in Lebanon, Gaza, Kosovo as well as Mexico´s Drug Wars, also terror attacks in Jordan, Israel, Paris, Brussels, and Madrid."
