Mapping Digital Media: Germany
The Open Society Institute with its office in Budapest initiated an international research project on the development of media systems in the light of digitalisation. Therefore comparable reports were compiled for almost 60 countries of all continents in order to examine the latest developments.
In this context, the Hans Bredow Institute compiled a report on media development in Germany. This illustrated not only the fundamental principles of the media order, but also developments in media technology, the range of media, media use and media law.
Besides the print publication of the transnational analysis through the Open Society Institute an online publication of all country reports in an English language version is planned.
