Their encouragement, critical reading, and honest talks in the inevitable times of doubt helped me to complete this project. I would like to thank my committee, Pascale Bos, Janet Swaffar, and David Crew, for serving as readers of the dissertation. All three have been tremendous inspirations with their own outstanding scholarship and their kind words. My thanks also go to Zsuzsanna Abrams and Nina Warnke who always had an open ear and an open door. The time of my research in Berlin would not have been as efficient without Wolfgang Mackiewicz at the Freie Universität who freed up many hours by allowing me to work for the Sprachenzentrum at home. An invaluable help was the library staff at the Hochschule für Film und Fernsehen “Konrad Wolf” Babelsberg .

Juha Koivisto ISBN 978-952-10-4050-4 (PDF) Peter Thomas Research project: Number of pages: 90 Mapping Media and Communication Research in Seven Countries Language: English Communication Research Center CRC Director: Dr. Juha Herkman Title of the report: Mapping Media and Communication Research: Germany Abstract: The report provides a survey of the German Media landscape, research institutions and organisations, the main approaches in Communication and Media Studies and future challenges. Part 1 provides an overview of the historical development of the German Media system and its distinctive features. These include processes of concentration and the profile of journalists. Part 2 analyses the institutes and organisations dedicated to Media research, as well as journals, scholarly associations and mechanisms of research funding. German Communication and Media Studies is set in the context of German academia and its particularities are noted. Part 3 surveys some of the main approaches in Communication and Media Studies and future challenges. Particular emphasis is placed in this section on the consequences of university reform in contemporary Germany, a lack of international perspective in the “mainstream” of Communication and Media Studies, and the continuing influence of the history of the discipline. The report concludes with a comparative perspective on the impact of Cultural Studies in German Communication and Media research, arguing that if the discipline is to confront successfully the challenges of a changing Media environment it will need to look for sources of theoretical and institutional renewal.

Integration: The ulturC al Politics Of Migration And Nation In The ewN German Public Abstract This dissertation examines public discourse on culture and integration and asks how do mediated public discussions about integration reproduce norms of national culture and identity that operate to represent and manage “Other” (immigrant, minority, etc.) populations in the German context? Through a case study approach, this dissertation uses critical discourse theory to analyze public campaigns, media events, and mediated controversies since the mid-2000s that sought to define the qualifications for cultural citizenship. Although in recent years an increasing number of publications have addressed Germany’s diverse and transnational population, examinations of processes and policies of integration have tended to focus either on the level of the government or on the level of everyday life. Although ideas about integration and multiculturalism are predominantly forged through events and the surrounding representations in the media, the mid-level processes of the media sphere have been neglected in scholarship.

  • Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act
    Digital Services Act and Digital Markets Act A GUIDE TO THE KEY PROPOSALS & IDEAS FOR IMPROVEMENT Policy Paper 2 December 15, 2020 marked both the end of a long process and the beginning of a new phase of political debate regarding the Internet econ- omy, as European Commissioners Margrethe Vestager and Thierry Breton presented the Digital Services Act (DSA) and the Digital Markets Act (DMA). The proposed regulations will affect everyone on the Internet, from large online services to startups and the average consumer. Strengthening Europe’s digital sovereignty, protecting democracy, enabling competition, harmonizing national regulations, fighting crime, empowering users – with the DSA and DMA, the Commission has set out to address so many issues that one German commentator deemed the plan an “eierlegende Prof. Dr. Woll milch sau,” i an egg-laying pig that also gives wool and milk. It is a Friedbert Pflüger beloved German expression that hints at the impossibility of achieving Chairman all goals with just a single solution. Internet Economy Foundation Yet the scope of the regulations is understandable. We ourselves have detailed in our studies Fair Play in the Digital Arena. How Europe Can Set the Right Framework for Platforms (2016) and Democracy and Digital Disinformation (2020) the various problems that have arisen from large- ly unregulated online services. The 2000 E-commerce Directive, the last major legal framework established by the EU in this context, intro- duced many positive principles regarding liability as well as notice and takedown – which are carried forward in the new DSA proposal. But the E-commerce Directive did not anticipate the rise of large online platforms and its enormous consequences for competition and democracy.

In March 2020, Germany went into the first lockdown and not only social but also economic life came to a standstill in many industries or was severe- ly curtailed. Far-reaching political decisions had to and still have to be taken at all levels to stop the spread of the pandemic. The immediate effects on the economy were and are in some cases dramatic. Munich as a business location and its companies have been affected in many ways by the economic impact of the Corona crisis: Unemployment rose to 4.5 per cent in Munich last year, which means an increase of about 13 500 additional unemployed. At the same time, the number of short-time workers in Munich rose to around 30 per cent of all employees subject to social insurance contri- butions. The tourism industry, the hospitality industry, inner-city retail as well as important infrastructure such as the Munich Trade Fair Center or the airport had to and still have to cope with immense slumps – this is also reflected in the figures at hand. All these developments also affect Munich’s financial and budgetary situation.

  • Chapter 5. Germany: Solid Journalistic Professionalism
    Chapter 5 Germany Solid journalistic professionalism and strong public service media Christine Horz-Ishak & Barbara Thomass Introduction Germany is the biggest country in Europe, with 83 million people, and is also the largest part of a bigger German-speaking media market of about 100 mil- lion people. It has four small linguistic minorities (Sorbs in the east, Danes in the north, Frisians in the northwest, and German Sinti and Roma) and large migrant communities, of which the Turkish is the biggest one. The country has a long tradition of mass media and is one of the most dynamic media markets in the world. This is reflected in the consumption patterns of media users, who have an average media use of 10.16 hours per day. Politically, Germany is considered a mature liberal democracy. Freedom in the World 2021: status “free” (Score: 94/100, down from 95 in 2016). The 2017 federal elections saw a decrease in the representation of women in the Bundestag, down to 30.9 per cent, the lowest since 1998, which resulted in a one- point deduction in the category of Political Pluralism and Participation (Freedom House, 2021).
