Perhaps the highest award for any Russian journalist will be the victory in the TEFI award nomination, which was established back in 1994. And one of the owners of this award is the notorious, for many reasons, journalist Andrei Norkin. It will be discussed in this article.
The early years and work on the radio
Andrei Vladimirovich Norkin is a Russian journalist, radio and television presenter, and also just a media man. Andrey Vladimirovich was born in Moscow on July 25, 1968. His mother died tragically back in 1990, and his father moved to Israel in 2012.
While still a schoolboy, Andrei showed himself on the positive side - he was a very active child and revealed his talent, becoming a five-time winner of the capital’s pop contests.
After Andrei graduated from high school, he managed to work as a mechanic at the instrument-making enterprise for a year. Then, in 1986, he called up for military service, which took place in the city of Kutaisi. In 1988 he returned to civilian life in sergeant uniform.
Even in school days, Andrei was attracted to acting, but in order to become a student at a theater university, he needed to serve in the army. However, upon returning from the army, Andrei no longer wanted to enter the theatrical stage and in 1989 got a job as an announcer at the stadium in Luzhniki, where he worked until 1992.
Before becoming a television worker, Andrei Norkin for four years was an employee of many radio stations, where he was the author and presenter of various programs.
TV career
In 1996, Norkin joined the team of NTV television company, where for five years he was the host of the Today program, as well as the talk show Hero of the Day. By the way, in parallel with working on television, he studied at the correspondence department of the journalism department of Moscow State University, but he never received a diploma of higher education, since high employment on the channel and caring for a young family took a lot of time.
Despite the lack of proper education, Andrei continued his career as a journalist.
For a number of reasons (the NTV Affair and political views in general), Norkin left NTV in 2001 and worked on TV-6 for a year, and then, from 2002 to 2007, as editor-in-chief on Echo-TV"
During these 5 years, he served as head of the capital’s representative office of RTVi. Incidentally, in 2006, Andrei became the winner of the prestigious TEFI Prize.
Then there was work on Channel Five and OTR. In 2013, the television journalist again returned to where he began his career as a journalist - to work on the radio. However, this did not last long, since a year later he became a co-author of the Replica project on the Rossiya-24 TV channel. Work on one channel did not stop Norkin from returning to another - NTV, where he again became a co-host and host of several television programs (in particular, Anatomy of the Day and Norkin's List).
For three years (2013-2016), MITRO conducted master classes at the journal faculty.
Since 2016, she has been the permanent presenter of the everyday talk show "Meeting Place" on NTV.
In 2018, the NTV 25+ documentary was released, dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the channel. One of the protagonists of the film was directly Andrei Norkin.
