Marco Bodt is a German-born, Italian-based journalist and author who has written for publications such as The Guardian, The Observer and The New York Times. He has also been a contributing writer to the Huffington Post and has been a regular columnist for Die Zeit. Bodt is the author of two books: “The Future of Journalism” and “The Journalism Revolution.” He is also the founder of the media think tank Media Matters Europe. In an interview with me, Bodt discussed his work as a journalist, the future of journalism and how he sees it affecting society. What inspired you to become a journalist? I was born in Germany but grew up in Italy so I have always been interested in both countries’ cultures and their newsrooms. When I started working as a reporter for The Guardian in London in 2003, I saw first-hand how important it was for journalists to be able to understand both sides of every story. That’s why I’ve always been interested in journalism – it’s an important tool for understanding our world.

BATTLE FOR TROST Arc
Main article: Battle of Trost Arc
After Trost was attacked by the Colossal Titan, Marco took command of Team 19, and was ordered to assist the vanguard forces. He was eventually among the stranded trainees after the order to retreat was issued, but he didn’t have enough gas to escape Trost.
Marco joined Jean and Mikasa when they rallied the other Titans to charge them. He was essential to Armin’s plan for recapturing the feeding chamber. The recruits were equipped with guns and acted as bait to lure the Titans into the chamber. Marco kept the group calm and maintained order until the Titans were shot and blinded.
Later, he was seen among the regrouped troops trying to keep order while people like DAZ were scared. Marco tried his best to console them and keep their spirits high, even though Trost ordered him to leave. He was a bait for the Titans to divert their attention from the main operation, Eren Jager.Later, he was among the recruits who went into the city to face the Titans. He helped Jean rescue her device and joined the fight against the Titans. Eren sealed the Pink Wall.
After the invasion of Trost he was found dead. His body was discovered by Jean and his identity confirmed. His body, along with other casualties from the battle were later cremated on a common pyre for all those who died in that battle.John was inspired by this to join the Exploration Battalion. He stated that he didn’t want to see a “disappointing ending” with someone with charred bone and not knowing why he died. Marco died unaccompanied and was not noticed for many days. Annie took his Three Dimensional Maneuvering Equipment and later discovered it. However, she did not specify how she “found it”. This suggests that her death could be linked to Annie Leonhart.
