Jan Brueggemeier, Heritage Radio Network-Office, Weimar

Coordinator of HRN

In 2004, I graduated in media-art and design at the chair of Experimental Radio at Bauhaus-University Weimar. Coming from an artistic background I have been participating individually as well as collectively in international new media-art-events and -exhibtions. As an artist and festival-curator I am interested in streaming and networking media at the point where art, politics and technology meet.

At HRN I enjoy establishing and deepening new-media formats in the field of cultural journalism and to work in transnational collaborations.

Internetradio offers to me a potential to further the European debate and a European understanding of common cultural heritages.

Svetlana Dicheva, Sofia

I graduated as a student of the faculty of journalism at Sofia University in 1995 and since then I have been working for Bulgarian National Radio. I have been a radio and TV reporter (1990-1992) in almost every field - politics, economics and culture, but my favourite field is culture, of course.

For 10 years I was anchorwoman of the morning political show "Before everybody", for 6 years I did the afternoon show "12 plus 3" and now I prepare the Saturday morning cultural show "Breakfast on the grass". I have written articles about cultural events for some newspapers. My favourite topic - books. I like presenting interesting personalities in my shows.

What I like about Heritage Radio Network?

1. The team work

2. The emphasis on culture, which is undeservedly pushed out into the periphery of media in Bulgaria.

3. The opportunity through Heritage Radio Network and through comparison to create a whole picture of the changes in our country
