Given the striking lack of research on German print media in light of international standards, the project investigates the history of the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung as part of the history of West German society. Secondly, it analyzes the roles which the newspaper, as a global paper, played in West Germany and abroad in providing public knowledge and orientation for politics, the economy and science. The projects first set of questions is concerned with the newspapers strategies to establish and maintain independence as its organizational identity, even though this central journalistic value was under constant threat. Besides, it will be investigated which issues composed the newspapers organizational identity, how this identity was actively kept up and changed over time and how it was perceived from outside. Furthermore, processes of politicization and of formation of profile will be analyzed and how and to what extent pluralism evolved within the paper. A second set of questions will be rooted in systems theory. They will focus on achievements of, feedback for, expectations as well as irritations and structural interconnec-tions between the four systems of society: media, economy, science and politics. Like the general title of the project indicates, the system of media is understood to provide output to the other functional systems of society while it was irritated by the other systems as well. The project combines the social-scientific method of strictly randomized selection with the established methodology of the historiography on media including empirical research with a focus on relevant events, actors and processes. The corpus of sources is mainly based on the rarely used FAZ-digital archive. Other sources are the protocols of the FAZ chief editors con-ferences (which will be accessible for the first time), personal papers of editors, journalists, scientists, and the reporting of media competitors like other newspapers and journals. The period of analysis rages from the founding of the newspaper in 1949 until the reunification of Germany. The latter was a central caesura in the history of the FAZ. Since that time and given its position as a leading newspaper of West Germany it had to face digital media pluralism in the Berlin Republic. Initially, the project will follow the newspapers Ressorteinteilung (departmental structure). To begin with, two sub-projects will deal with the department of politics and economics. The findings will form a basis for a subsequent project on the history of the Feuilleton and Public History in the FAZ. The project on the history of the FAZ ought to function as a pilot project. Given that the history of other crucial West German media remains a desideratum, the project should stimulate future research in media history.

鉴于参照国际标准对德国平面媒体的研究明显不足，该项目调查了《法兰克福汇报》的历史，作为西德社会史的一部分。其次，分析了该报作为一份全球性报纸在西德和国外为政治、经济和科学提供公共知识和导向方面所发挥的作用。项目第一组问题涉及报纸建立和保持独立性的战略，作为其组织身份，尽管这一核心新闻价值不断受到威胁。此外，还将调查哪些问题构成了报纸的组织认同，这种认同是如何随着时间的推移而积极保持和变化的，以及它是如何被外界感知的。此外，还将分析政治化和侧写形成的过程，以及多元主义如何以及在多大程度上在论文中演变。第二组问题将植根于系统论。他们将关注媒体、经济、科学和政治这四个社会系统之间的成就、反馈、期望以及刺激和结构性联系。正如该项目的总标题所示，媒体系统被理解为向社会的其他功能系统提供输出，同时它也受到其他系统的刺激。该项目将严格随机选择的社会科学方法与媒体史学的既定方法结合起来，包括侧重于相关事件、行为者和进程的实证研究。来源语料库主要基于很少使用的FAZ数字档案馆。其他来源包括FAZ主编会议的协议(将首次公开)，编辑、记者、科学家的个人论文，以及其他报纸和期刊等媒体竞争对手的报道。从1949年《经济学人》创刊到德国统一，这段时间的分析非常激烈。后者是FAZ历史上的一个中心人物。从那时起，鉴于其作为西德主要报纸的地位，该报不得不面对柏林共和国的数字媒体多元化。最初，该项目将遵循报纸Ressorteinitilung(部门结构)。首先，两个子项目将涉及政治和经济系。这些发现将为随后在FAZ开展的关于Feuilleton历史和公共历史的项目奠定基础。关于FAZ历史的项目应该作为一个试点项目。鉴于其他关键西德媒体的历史仍然是一个理想的研究对象，该项目应该会刺激未来对媒体史的研究。
