Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2010 im Fachbereich Medien / Kommunikation - Printmedien, Presse, Note: 2,0, Europa-Universität Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder) (Kulturwissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Einführung in die Kulturgeschichte, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: The paper ¿The freedom of press as a driving power for the transformation of Germany in
the 19th century¿ gives an overview of the development of the history of press in Germany
in the 19th century. A central reference for the description and explanation of the history of
press are the three potencies: culture, state and religion, which were founded by the
universal-historian Jacob Burckhardt. The relation of these potencies to each other are
always essential for describing, explaining or even understand history. The topic freedom
of press is important until today, because press is an endangered property even in the
presence. So there is also given a short insight into the development of the freedom of
press in the beginning of the 20th century and the present situation of press in Germany
today.
