Ed Moschitz
Born in 1968 in Judenburg, Styria, he began his journalistic career with the first freelance work for Südwind Magazine, Falter and Die Presse in 1994 while still studying.
Since 1996 he has been working for the ORF, first as an editor for FM4, soon after for the culture radio station Ö1. In 1998 he moved on to television, into the editorial department of "Am Schauplatz". Ever since he has been working as reporter, editor and designer of now 100 programs.
One of these programs, "Village Without Mothers," would not let Ed Moschitz go. Since 2004, he has visited the women portrayed in this feature again and again. Now the result of this year-long journalistic relationship comes to the theaters as the documentary "Mama Illegal".
Ed Moschitz, since 2005 also university lecturer for "Television News" for the Masters Course for quality journalism at the University of Krems, has two children and lives in Vienna.
