    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles East German Journalists and the Wende: A history of the collapse and transformation of socialist journalism in Germany A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in History by Morgan Morille Schupbach Guzman 2015 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION East German Journalists and the Wende: A history of the collapse and transformation of socialist journalism in Germany by Morgan Morille Schupbach Guzman Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2015 Professor David Sabean, Chair This dissertation utilizes archival sources and interviews to examine the transformation of the journalism profession in East Germany from the collapse of the German Democratic Republic (GDR) through the unification of the two German states. During this period of dramatic political and social upheaval, East German journalists navigated the divide between socialist journalism of the GDR and democratic journalism of the Federal Republic. By embedding the history of this professional transformation within a broader narrative of the history of the collapse of communism in Germany and Eastern Europe, this dissertation identifies how the actions of journalists were largely determined by outside forces. Socialist journalism in East Germany was envisioned as a means to use the media to control the public, but in practice the ii model primarily succeeding in controlling the journalists. As a result, the profession was at the mercy of larger social and geo-political tensions and was hampered by persistent and lingering structures of control that delayed the ability of journalists to undertake any substantive efforts of reform. However, once those structures eroded, there was a brief window where journalists were freed to reform the profession, and many envisioned a future for a democratic socialist journalism that embraced journalistic freedoms but held true to socialist principles of equality and social justice.

  • “A Very Orderly Retreat”: Democratic Transition in East Germany, 1989- 90
    “A Very Orderly Retreat”: Democratic Transition in East Germany, 1989- 90 Abstract East Germany‟s 1989-90 democratization is among the best known of East European transitions, but does not lend itself to comparative analysis, due to the singular way in which political reform and democratic consolidation were subsumed by Germany‟s unification process. Yet aspects of East Germany‟s democratisation have proved amenable to comparative approaches. This article reviews the comparative literature that refers to East Germany, and finds a schism between those who designate East Germany‟s transition „regime collapse‟ and others who contend that it exemplifies „transition through extrication‟. It inquires into the merits of each position and finds in favour of the latter. Drawing on primary and secondary literature, as well as archival and interview sources, it portrays a communist elite that was, to a large extent, prepared to adapt to changing circumstances and capable of learning from „reference states‟ such as Poland. Although East Germany was the Soviet state in which the positions of existing elites were most threatened by democratic transition, here too a surprising number succeeded in maintaining their position while filing across the bridge to market society. A concluding section outlines the alchemy through which their bureaucratic power was transmuted into property and influence in the „new Germany‟. Introduction: East Germany’s transition in the literature The 1989-90 regime change in East Germany is one of the best known of democratic transitions, by virtue of two media-spectacular events – the exodus of East German citizens through Hungary and the storming of the Berlin Wall – as well as its symbolic significance as the keystone of the Soviet imperium.

Living in and between two such different societies focuses one’s thoughts on the contrasts, whether in terms of the lifestyle and ‘national character’ of the people, or the structures of economy and polity. In the East, one felt that this was a society that, in material terms, lagged Western Europe by five or fifteen years. Roads were more likely to be empty, and cobbled. Cars were fewer, and more basic in their design. Some farmers were still using horse-drawn carts.
