The study will investigate the history of journalism in Germany from the beginning of the World War I until the age of digitalization. Therefore, journalism history is integrated into social history. For the exogenous factors of the social level, the dimensions ofa) politics and lawb) economy and technology andc) social structure and culturewill be distinguished. For the endogenous factors, journalism is divided intoa) editorial department as organizations (organizational level),b) editorial staff as a group of persons (individual level) andc) editing as text production (media routines level).To each of these areas an own subproject is dedicated (modules 1-3). In particular, archives will be visited, and documents will be analyzed by means of historical source study for the development of journalistic media companies (module 1). The journalists will be researched mainly through qualitative analysis of (auto) biographies, materials of professional associations and interviews with journalists and experts (module 2). Finally, the development of journalistic texts will be investigated by means of quantitative content analysis. The aim is to be able to present the development of the pyramidal model of journalistic news writing in ten-year steps over time and across different media genres between continuity and change (module 3). Regarding the complexity of the subject, only a proposed method mix appears promising.The study divides the "century of journalism" intoa) the phase of the world wars (1914-1945),b) the phase of the Iron Curtain (1945-1990) andc) the phase of digitalization (1990-2014).In all three phases, there are different challenges of access to sources, from the hitherto still slow pace of digitalization of old media products (digital reborn sources) to the confusing abundance of digital born sources in the 21st century.In the end, in addition to journal articles, there will be an internationally compatible monograph published that tells the story of journalism in Germany from World War I to the establishment of Web 2.0 at the beginning of the 21st century. In order to be able to connect to current discussions in science and practice during the project, the modules "project-specific workshop" and "public relations" are applied for.

该研究将调查德国从第一次世界大战开始到数字化时代的新闻史。因此，新闻史是融入社会史的。对于社会层面的外生因素，将区分a）政治和法律、b）经济和技术、c）社会结构和文化的维度。对于内生因素，新闻业分为a）作为组织的编辑部门（组织级别），b）作为一群人的编辑人员（个人级别）和c）作为文本制作的编辑（媒体常规级别）。对于这些领域中的每一个领域都有一个专门的子项目（模块1-3）。特别是，将访问档案，并通过新闻媒体公司发展的历史来源研究来分析文件（模块1）。主要通过对（自传）传记、专业协会材料的定性分析以及对记者和专家的采访（模块2）对记者进行研究。最后，将通过定量内容分析来研究新闻文本的发展。目的是能够展示新闻写作金字塔模型在十年间的发展，以及跨不同媒体类型在连续性和变化之间的发展（模块 3）。考虑到主题的复杂性，只有提出的方法组合才显得有希望。该研究将“新闻世纪”分为a）世界大战阶段（1914-1945），b）铁幕阶段（1945-1990）和c）数字化阶段（1990-2014）。在这三个阶段中，获取资源都面临着不同的挑战，因为旧媒体产品的数字化步伐迄今为止仍然缓慢 最后，除了期刊文章之外，还将出版一本国际兼容的专着，讲述从第一次世界大战到 21 世纪初 Web 2.0 建立的德国新闻业的故事。为了能够在项目期间连接到当前的科学和实践讨论，应用了“项目特定研讨会”和“公共关系”模块。
