For Noah, there was really only one career path he considered from an early age: journalism. After graduating from high school, he gained his first experience through internships at the Luzerner Zeitung and 20 Minuten. He financed his studies by working on the domestic news team at the commuter newspaper. After earning his bachelor's degree in politics and history, Noah finally left the lecture hall and ventured out into the world. Since 2022, he has been working on the team behind the 20 Minuten video format "Reporter!n." His favorite topics there are the less visible corners of society: from porn addiction to gang crime.
