该项目将FAZ的历史作为西德文化和社会历史的一部分进行研究。其次，分析了这份报纸在西德和国外为政治、文化、科学、人文和经济提供公众知识和导向的作用。该项目的第一个问题是，在独立的核心新闻价值不断受到威胁的情况下，《纽约时报》如何建立和维持独立的组织身份。它将被调查哪些问题组成的报纸组织身份，这种身份是如何积极地维持和改变随着时间的推移，以及它是如何被感知的。此外，该项目还分析了政治化的过程，以及在何种程度上多元化在文件中演变。第二组问题根植于系统理论。这些问题集中在报纸作为媒介系统的一部分为政治、文化、科学和人文系统服务。FAZ是如何刺激这些系统的以及它又是如何被这些系统刺激的？该项目将严格随机选择的社会科学方法与媒体历史的既定方法相结合，重点关注相关事件、参与者和过程。来源语料库主要基于FAZ很少使用的数字档案。其他来源是FAZ出版商会议的协议，记者和知识分子的个人论文，以及其他报纸和期刊等媒体竞争对手的报道。总之，语料库的广度和深度是优秀的。这些分项事业将按照《世界新闻报》的部门结构进行。在政治部方面，本文是在冷战、去殖民化进程和西方政治文化交流的背景下，分析了Weltblatt的历史。其次，该部门的历史是在西德基本自由化和西方化的背景下进行的，包括政治两极化的媒体部门。该子项目将证明报纸对这些基本趋势和这些趋势的媒介化的具体贡献，以确定FAZ特定身份的独立性的范围和局限性，并从媒体历史的角度评估这些历史基本趋势。Feuilleton被视为FAZ内一个充满活力的部门，宣称发起重要的辩论，构建它们并果断地塑造它们的结果。其次，《福伊尔顿报》的子课题关注的是《福伊尔顿报》在公共历史方面的作用，即对历史的公众参考和利用。然后，所有子项目的结果将与进一步的研究相结合，为综合提供基础，即为FAZ的全面历史提供基础，该历史将嵌入区域，西德和跨国历史中。

This project investigates the history of the FAZ as part of the history of West German culture and society. Secondly, it analyzes the role of this newspaper in West Germany and abroad in providing public knowledge and orientation for politics, culture, science, humanities and the economy. The project s first set of questions is concerned with the newspaper s strategies to establish and maintain an organizational identity of independence, even though the central journalistic value of independence remained under constant threat. It will be investigated which issues composed the newspapers organizational identity, how this identity was actively sustained and changed over time and how it was perceived. Furthermore, the project analyzes processes of politicization and to what extent pluralism evolved within the paper. A second set of questions is rooted in systems theory. These questions focus on services of the paper as part of the media system for the systems of politics, culture and science and humanities. How did the FAZ irritate these systems and how it was irritated by them? The project combines the social-scientific method of strictly randomized selection with the established methodology of media history with a focus on relevant events, actors and processes. The corpus of sources is mainly based on the rarely used digital archive of the FAZ. Other sources are the protocols of the FAZ publisher conferences, personal papers of journalists and intellectuals, and the reporting of media competitors like other newspapers and journals. In sum, the breadth and depth of the corpus of sources are excellent. The sub-projects will follow the newspaper s Ressorteinteilung (departmental structure). As regards the political department, the history of the Weltblatt is analyzed against the back-drop of the Cold War, the process of de-colonialization and the political-cultural exchange in the West. Secondly, the history of this department is examined in the context of West Germany s fundamental liberalization and westernization, including a politically polarized media sector. The sub-project will evince the newspaper s specific contribution to these basic trends and to the mediatization of these trends in order to determine the scope of and limitations to the independence of the FAZ s specific identity and to assess these historical basic trends from a media history perspective The Feuilleton is seen as a vibrant department within the FAZ that proclaims to initiate important debates, to frame them and to shape their outcome decisively. Secondly, the sub-project on the Feuilleton focuses on the newspaper s role in terms of Public History, that is the public reference to and utilization of history. The results of all sub-projects will then be combined with further research to provide the basis for a synthesis, that is for a comprehensive history of the FAZ, which is to be embedded in regional, West German and transnational history.
