Early life and education

Hayali is the daughter of Iraqi Christians from Mosul. Her mother is Chaldean Catholic, and her father is Syrian Orthodox. Hayali herself was a Catholic and was an altar server when she was young.[1] However, she has left the church.[2] Her parents initially moved from Baghdad to Vienna, Austria, to study medicine and pharmacy. At the time of Hayali's birth, her father ran his own practice in Datteln, where her mother helped out.[3] Hayali's older brother is also a doctor, and her older sister first worked as a physician's assistant and later in a hospital.

In her youth, Hayali intensively pursued various sports. She played volleyball and soccer, trained judo and played tennis as a competitive sport until the age of 15.[4]

Hayali studied at the German Sport University in Cologne from 1995 to 1999, majoring in "Media and Communication".[5] During her studies, she completed internships at German radio and television stations.

Career

Early beginnings

After graduation, Hayali worked as a sports presenter for Deutsche Welle in Cologne and Bonn, as a freelancer for the private station Radio Cologne and as a presenter of the news program Journal on DW-TV in Berlin. Additionally, she presented some sports and news broadcasts on tv.nrw, a regional TV station in North Rhine-Westphalia that ceased operations in mid-2005.

ZDF, 2007–present

In April 2007, Hayali became the presenter of ZDF's daily news programme heute, especially the weekday heute – in Deutschland news block and the weekend editions, and co-anchor of the heute-journal, usually with chief anchor Steffen Seibert.

Since October 2007, Hayali has also been hosting the Шаблон:Interlanguage link multi;[6] in October 2010 she succeeded Шаблон:Interlanguage link multi as chief anchor of the second half of the programme, from 7 to 9 am. Her last appearance as co-host on heute-journal was on 21 September 2010.

In summer 2015 and 2016, Hayali stood in for Maybrit Illner as host of the ZDF program ZDFdonnerstalk. The talk magazine was broadcast seven times in 2017 under the new title Dunja Hayali. From July 2018, it was broadcast once a month. In 2021, the show was discontinued.[7]

In 2023, Hayali re-joined the heute-journal, this time as anchor in rotation with Marietta Slomka, Christian Sievers and Anne Gellinek.[8]

Among other international leaders, Hayali has interviewed Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany (2012), Chancellor Sebastian Kurz of Austria (2018) and former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry (2021).[9] In addition to her work for ZDF, she has also been a presenter at events such as the 2012 Berlin Conference on Renewable Energy, organised by the German Association of Energy and Water Industries (Bundesverband der Energie- und Wasserwirtschaft).[10]

Other activities

Public engagement

Commitment to Open Dialogue

In March 2017, Hayali gave an interview to the weekly newspaper Junge Freiheit.[13] In it, she pleaded for open dialogue regardless of political positions: "We must be able to put up with each other's opinions without immediately denigrating them or getting personal." She called for journalists to treat citizens with understanding and respect and vice versa. Journalists would make mistakes, but that was not yet fake news.[14] The interview led to controversial reactions. Heribert Prantl, German journalist and jurist, spoke of a mistake, since Hayali was paving the way for a new readership for the newspaper that "does not necessarily feel at home on the far right. Jan Fleischhauer, also a German journalist, countered that anyone who was not a politician did not have to worry about driving up the newspaper's circulation: "They do their thing. They ask me, I give them an answer."[15] Hayali commented on the criticism on Twitter.[16]

Commitment to children and young people

Dunja Hayali has been a member of the Board of Trustees of the DFL Foundation, a charitable foundation dedicated to social projects since 2017.[17]

Commitment against hate speech

In her speech at the awards ceremony of the Goldene Kamera award on 6 February 2016, she also addressed the hatred she has been facing for some time. She said, among other things: "In a country where freedom of expression is such a high good, everyone is allowed and must be able to express their concerns and their fears without immediately being put in the right-wing Nazi corner. However, if you make racist comments, then you are a racist, dammit." She received a standing ovation in the hall for her speech.[18]

Commitment against racism and xenophobia

Hayali is a supporter of the association Gesicht Zeigen![19] As an ambassador, she supports the initiative Respekt! Kein Platz für Rassismus.[20] In 2018, Hayali was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit on Ribbon for her commitment against racism and xenophobia.[21]

Criticism and orders from the industry

Dunja Hayali was criticized because, in addition to her job as a journalist, she also moderated trade conventions for companies and events in the gambling industry. She received money from Amazon and BMW, among others. This was reported in 2018 by the media magazine Zapp from NDR.[22][23] She herself does not see this as a loss of impartiality in her critical work as a professional journalist, as it is not a matter of advertising appearances. "I often make myself available on a voluntary basis or ask to donate the intended honorarium", she emphasized. "Just as, by the way, I donate any prize money I receive through awards."[24]

Awards

Personal life

Hayali has extensive tattoos on her right arm and back; these were first seen at the presentation of the Deutscher Fernsehpreis on 9 October 2010 in Cologne; on television they had always been covered.[29][30]

Hayali is lesbian;[29] in 2008 she announced that since 2007 she had been in a relationship with Mareike Arning, the vocalist of the punk-pop band Uschi's Orchester.[31] The couple separated in 2011.[32]

In February 2016, the State Court of Hamburg issued a preliminary injunction forbidding a Facebook user from making offensive hate comments on Hayali's Facebook page and setting a fine of up to €250,000 for any violations of the injunction.[33]
