GERMANY is the country in the “heart of Europe”, located very much in the centre of the continent. In terms of population and economic strength it is the largest state West of Russia on the continent. About 82.5 million people live (2005) in Germany in 33 million households of which 98 per cent have at least one TV-set. About 10 per cent of the population are foreign or have roots outside of Germany. The language is German and together with Austria and the German speaking part of Switzerland about 100 million people make up a German language space, constituting a rather large market.\
Germany looks back at a long history of mass media. Some of the first newspapers started here roughly 400 years ago. During the years of the Nazis the mass media had become a tool of the dictatorship. In 1945 the media experienced an “hour zero” and started nearly completely anew. The postwar media system was based on the principle of press freedom as stipulated in the constitution of 1949. Until 1990 Germany was a divided country.
The media system of the former GDR was highly centralized and worked under the control of the Communist Party. It disappeared during the process of unification, but patterns of media usage still differ between East and West. Today the major media production centres are located in the “old” West, newspapers of the former GDR are usually controlled by Western companies.
