Jan Rehaag

Freelance journalist and final-year International Journalism student based near Brussels.

Published in The Brussels Times and volunteer reporter with AEJ Belgium, covering press freedom and EU affairs.

Specialising in conflict reporting, with field coverage of anti-government protests in Georgia and video reporting on NATO’s eastern flank.

Proficient in end-to-end video production; reporting in English and German.

On my YouTube channel, I produce documentaries about Geopolitics.

I handle the entire production process myself, from researching topics and writing scripts to interviewing experts and filming. In post-production, I edit in Premiere Pro, create animations and motion graphics in After Effects, and use Photoshop for visual design and compositing.

Since February 2025, I have volunteered with The Association of European Journalists in Belgium (AEJ Belgium). I work in a team with the editor-in-chief of EUobserver and journalists from Reuters and DW.

My tasks range from writing event reports and articles to managing the association's social media presence and helping at networking events AEJ Belgium hosts.

After a 2-week internship at a local newspaper, I continued working there as a paid freelancer.

I produced articles, social media videos and photo stories, covering local events and press conferences with politicians.
