Richard Connor
Reporting on stories from around the world, with a particular focus on Europe — especially Germany.
That's included a whole lot of German politics — plus some of the quirkier stories for which the country is known.
After setting out with a plan to do science and environmental journalism, having studied zoology at the University of Liverpool, Richard soon began to enjoy the mad variety of general news.
Starting his career at the Bury Times and later the Bolton News, as well as freelancing at the Manchester Evening News, he worked as a reporter and sub-editor. Richard also had a spell teaching English in Spain and Austria before settling down in sunny Bonn am Rhein.
