Caren Miosga grew up in Groß Ilsede, Lower Saxony, and attended the local grammar school.

Miosga is fluent in Russian as she worked as a tour guide in Saint Petersburg and Moscow during her studies.

The following year Miosga succeeded Anne Will[2] and became the new presenter of Tagesthemen, appearing in rotation with successive co-presenters Tom Buhrow (2006–2013), Thomas Roth (2013–2016), and Ingo Zamperoni (2013–2014 and since 2016).
