Contemporary Journalism in the Us and Germany

Meer over het boek

Challenging the notion of a homogenizing American influence in global media, this book explores the distinct journalistic cultures in the US and Germany. Through extensive field research and analysis, it reveals that while American journalism maintains strong occupational norms, it is also adaptable. In contrast, Germany's journalism exhibits robust professional boundaries that are accepted as the norm. The author argues that these differences stem from the interplay of institutional media arrangements and the historical evolution of cultural principles in each country.
