Book synopsis

Although the huge expansion of the mass media is undoubtedly one of the central developments in industrialized societies over the twentieth century, in the case of Germany few historians have devoted much attention to it until recent years. In particular, the question of how modern mass media such as tabloids, film, radio and television, or recordings fitted into wider social and cultural developments in Germany's turbulent history has rarely been addressed. This volume is the first wide-ranging study of the rise of the mass media in Germany in social- and cultural-historical perspective. Bringing together some of the best recent historical research on film, radio, recorded sound and the print media by scholars in Europe and North America, it investigates the impact they have had on twentieth-century German society under widely varying political systems, and how in turn the media and their uses were shaped by the wider social, political and cultural context.
