Germany
In 1918 Roth returned to Vienna and wrote for left wing newspapers, occasionally as Red Roth (der rote Roth). In 1920 he moved to Berlin, where he worked as a highly successful journalist for the Neue Berliner Zeitung and from 1921 for the Berliner Börsen-Courier. In 1923 he began his association with the well-known liberal Frankfurter Zeitung, travelling widely throughout Europe and reporting from the south of France, the USSR, Albania, Poland, Italy and Germany. "He was one of the most distinguished and best-paid journalists of the period-being paid at the dream rate of one Deutschmark per line." In 1925 he spent an influential period working in France and never again resided permanently in Berlin.
