Bogna Koreng grew up in a bilingual environment in Radibor. Her parents spoke Upper Sorbian to her, but her linguistic environment was German.[1] Koreng studied German studies after her Abitur in Leipzig and worked as a teacher and choirmaster at the Sorbisches Gymnasium (the only Upper Sorbian-language highschool) in Bautzen for two years afterwards. After the Wende in 1992, she started working as a freelance journalist at Sorbischer Rundfunk, a Sorbian-language radio program. Since 2001, she is the presenter of the Upper Sorbian TV show Wuhladko. Furthermore, she is head of the Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk's studio in Bautzen since 2003.[2][3]
Her show was awarded the third prize in the International Television and Radio Festival of National Minorities, in which more than 60 European ethnic groups participate.[3]
