INSTITUTION Inter Nationes, Bonn (West Germany). PUB DATE 92 NOTE 52p.; Translated by Brangwyn Jones. PUB TYPE Reports Evaluative/Feasibility (142) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC03 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS Developing Nations; Foreign Countries; Freedom of Speech; *Mass Media; *Mass Media Effects; *Mass Media Role; Media Research; Professional Training; Technological Advancement IDENTIFIERS *Germany; Historical Background; Journalists; Market Analysis; Media Government Relationship; Media Ownership; Third World; *West Germany ABSTRACT Citing statistics that show that its citizens are well catered for by the mass media, this paper answers questions concerning the media landscape in the Federal Republic of Germany. The paper discusses: (1) Structure and framework conditions of the German media (a historical review of the mass media since 1945); (2) Press (including its particular reliance on local news and the creation of the world status media group, Bertelsmann AG);(3) News agencies and public relations work (which insure a "never-ending stream" of information);(4) Radio and Television (with emphasis on the Federal Republic's surprisingly large number of radio stations--public, commercial, and "guest");(5) New communication paths and media (especially communication and broadcasting satellites and cable in wideband-channel networks);(6) The profession of journalist (which still relies on on-the-job training rather than university degrees); and (7) Help for the media in the Third World (professional training in Germany of journalists and technical experts from underdeveloped countries appears to be the most appropriate way to promote Third World media).

  • Germany's New Media Market Bonanza
    The German Entertainment miracle page 1 Germany’s New Media Market Bonanza By Roland Deiser The following article is the first output of a more comprehensive research project about the strategic dynamics of the international film licensing industry, with a focus on the role of Germany. It includes profiles of all 21 media companies that are currently listed at the German Stock Exchange. The study is supported by reelplay.com, a virtual platform for buying and selling film. If you hang out these days in the Lobby of the “Bayrischer Hof”, the traditional luxury hotel in the heart of Munich, you may think Hollywood has detected a new fancy spot for power lunches. Studio execs and major independent players find it well worth to travel 15 or more hours to the Bavarian capital just to meet with one of the new players that have become so crucial in getting a project off the ground. Today, the market capitalization of the publicly traded media companies is close to DM 40bn ($ 20bn), more than 100 times the amount of all German public film subsidies combined. A breathtaking development that took less than 3 years has made this country a crucial variable in co-financing the global film industry. How come? And how does this change the dynamics of the industry? History A brief look at history of Germany as a filmmaking community helps to put these developments into context. Before World War II, Germany had a strong, viable film industry, with a large pool of creative talent, comparable with the US. The Second World War forced talent to emigrate to Hollywood and virtually destroyed the industry’s domestic basis.
