History of a Quality Newspaper for Economy and Politics.Die Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung 1949-1990

鉴于德国印刷媒体在国际标准方面的研究严重缺乏，该项目将《法兰克福汇报》的历史作为西德社会历史的一部分进行调查。其次，分析了作为世界性报纸的《世界报》在德国和世界其他地区为公众提供政治、经济和科学知识和方向的作用。项目的第一组问题涉及报纸建立和保持独立性作为其组织特征的战略，尽管这一核心新闻价值不断受到威胁。此外，本研究将探讨哪些议题构成了报纸的组织认同，这种认同是如何被积极地维持并随着时间的推移而改变的，以及它是如何被外界感知的。此外，政治化的过程和形成的形象将进行分析，以及如何以及在何种程度上多元化的文件内演变。第二组问题将植根于系统理论。他们将专注于成就，反馈，期望以及刺激和社会的四个系统之间的结构性相互联系：媒体，经济，科学和政治。正如项目的总标题所示，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相结合，包括实证研究，重点是相关事件，行为者和过程。语料库的来源主要是基于很少使用的FAZ数字档案。其他来源是FAZ主编会议的协议（将首次开放），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。分析的时期从1949年报纸成立到德国统一。后者是扎伊尔军历史上的一个中心停顿。从那时起，鉴于其作为西德国主要报纸的地位，它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Ressorteinteilung（部门结构）。开始，两个分项目将涉及政治和经济系。这些发现将为随后关于FAZ的Feuilleton历史和公共历史的项目奠定基础。关于扎伊尔军历史的项目应作为一个试点项目。鉴于其他重要的西德媒体的历史仍然是一个迫切需要，该项目应刺激未来的研究在媒体史。

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.
