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).

  • Does Music Quality Matter for Audience Voters in a Music Contest

Kuchinke & Julia Pannicke März 2019 Institute of Economics Ehrenbergstraße 29 Ernst-Abbe-Zentrum D-98 684 Ilmenau Phone 03677/69-4030/-4032 Fax 03677/69-4203 http://www.wirtschaft.tu-ilmenau.de ISSN 0949-3859 Does Music Quality Matter for Audience Voters in a Music Contest? Oliver Budzinski#, Marie Kohlschreiber+, Björn A. Kuchinke*, Julia Pannicke× Abstract: There are numerous studies analyzing factors of success in media-broadcasted artistic con- tests, especially music competitions. However, one factor that is generally neglected in the literature is the quality of the artistic performances (i.e. “music quality”). In this paper, we approach this re- search gap by developing two novel concepts of music quality and by employing unique measures during the empirical analysis of a popular German music television contest in order to analyze how different dimensions of the music and performance quality influences the final voting results. We use the complete historical voting dataset of the music contest from its inception in 2005 until its last broadcast in 2015, collecting 2,816 observations in total. First, we define dimensions of “objective quality” according to insights from musicological research/literature. Second, we conceptualize di- mensions of “subjective quality” because music preferences may be subjective and are not necessarily based on how experts’ define “good” music. We measure these subjective dimensions in an experi- mental setting with students from two German universities.

The opening of the new, 175-km long German stretch between Cologne and Frankfurt brings the completion rate of the PBKAL project up to 56 %. On all remaining sections in Belgium (Brussels – German and Brussels -Dutch border), the Netherlands (Amsterdam – Belgian border) and the United Kingdom (Channel Tunnel – London), construction works are well under way, and overall completion of the PBKAL project is aimed at for 2006/2007.

  • Volvo to Be Delisted from Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Hamburg Stock Exchange
    AB Volvo Press Information Volvo to be delisted from Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Hamburg stock exchange As announced earlier, Volvo has applied to be delisted from Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Hamburg stock exchanges. This application has now been approved and the Volvo share will be delisted from Frankfurt and Düsseldorf stock exchanges on June 25, 2004 and from Hamburg stock exchange on September 30, 2004. In October 2003, Volvo announced that the Company’s Board had decided to apply to be delisted from Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Hamburg stock exchanges. Volvo has been listed on the German exchanges in Frankfurt, Düsseldorf and Hamburg since 1974. This listing was a feature of the Board’s efforts to increase international ownership in Volvo. However, the deregulation of the international capital markets and the increased foreign ownership of shares on Stockholmsbörsen have meant that this special listing has outlived its usefulness. June 23, 2004 For further information, please contact Fredrik Brunell, Tel: +46 (0)31-66 11 91 The Volvo Group is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of trucks, buses and construction equipment, drive systems for marine and industrial applications, aerospace components and services. The Group also provides complete solutions for financing and service. The Volvo Group, which employs about 76,000 people, has production facilities in 25 countries and sells their products in more than 185 markets. Annual sales of the Volvo Group amount to 18 billion euro. The Volvo Group is a publicly-held company headquartered in Göteborg, Sweden. Volvo shares are listed on the stock exchanges in Stockholm, London and on NASDAQ in the US.
