Media from A to Z
One of the tasks of the Hans Bredow Institute is also to transfer knowledge from research to a wider public via publications. Such a project is the lexicon „Medien von A bis Z” (“Media from A to Z”), which offers research based information on the developments in the media system. The volume is divided into a survey article and 160 keywords altogether. That makes possible reference both through the alphabetical order of the individual articles and via topic areas like journalism, media contents, media business, media effects, and media politics and media law. Accounts of the media systems in selected countries and of important media companies are also offered.
The project relies to a great extent on the multi-disciplinary qualifications of staff at the Hans Bredow Institute, many of whom have contributed to the volume.
The lexicon addresses itself to non-specialist readers also interested in its topics. It appeared in Autumn 2006 in the publishing house VS Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften and is in addition widely distributed by the federal and the states’ agencies for civic education.
