Susanne Daubner Reveals Unique Pre-Broadcast Ritual

The Tagesschau presenter shares her reliance on a specific blue pen and reflects on her distinctive voice development.

Susanne Daubner, a longtime Tagesschau news presenter, disclosed her ritual of only using a blue pen for pre-broadcast corrections, considering black pens a bad omen.
She ensures a personal stockpile of blue pens to avoid disruptions in her preparation routine.
In a recent NDR Talk Show appearance, Daubner also discussed her deep voice, which she attributes to an early 'voice break' at age 14, similar to what boys experience.
Her distinctive voice has been a key asset in her broadcasting career, enhancing her authoritative presence on air.
In addition to her role as a presenter, Daubner is well-known for announcing the 'Youth Word of the Year,' a tradition popularized on social media.
