When a van struck people at Berlin’s Pride festival, AP’s Germany staff rallied quickly with great speed to cover the shock and 24-hour manhunt with speed, breadth and enterprise.
Berlin-based video journalist Fanny Brodersen had just returned from an afternoon reporting from the march when she was alerted to an incident at the related concert planned at the Brandenburg Gate. Brodersen rushed to the scene as the rest of the team mobilized. Barely 25 minutes later, AP was live, with Brodersen feeding interviews and continuous updates. Over the next 24 hours, the entire bureau documented every major development, the LGBTQ+ community’s pain and fear, the political response and the manhunt that ended when police killed the main suspect.
With rapid live coverage and dedicated remote video support, the team captured all the key moments. Drawing on AP video, user-generated content and partner footage, AP delivered comprehensive coverage to clients and audiences with accuracy, sensitivity and humanity.
