Daniel Funke

Daniel Funke (born 23 July 1981)[1] is a German journalist. Since 2019 he is the head of the Berlin office for the German publishing house Hubert Burda Media and its chief lobbyist.

From 2002 to 2009, he studied German studies ("Germanistik") and history at Humboldt-Universität Berlin. Between 2004 and 2007, he also worked at the private TV channel Sat. 1 and the magazine Blitz ("Flash"). In 2007, he became an editor at the yellow press magazine Bunte, and in 2012, the head of their Berlin office.

Funke is married to German politician Jens Spahn (CDU) since 2017.[2] Funke caused controversy for a story in the Bunte about the then-new US ambassador Richard Grenell. At the time of publication, it was concealed that Funke and Spahn were friends with Grenell and his partner.[3]
