History of origin
On November 13, 1986 the association "Working Group for Historical Communication Research (AHK)" was founded by Wolfgang Duchkowitsch, Fritz Hausjell, Theodor Venus, Peter Malina and Oliver Rathkolb . From the beginning, the club members worked on a voluntary basis. The first edition of medien & zeit appeared as a double issue in May 1986 on the occasion of the conference “Paths to Communication History”. In 2002, the working group presented the results of a conference on the topic of “Dealing with the subject with National Socialist newspaper studies” in a booklet, thus triggering important discourses within journalism and communication studies. The magazine's articles are not limited to the German-speaking area: in 2003, communication historians from Hungary , Slovakia and the Czech Republic were invited to give an overview of the origins and development of the subject in their home country in medien & zeit give. In the last years, especially since 2008, there has been an increasing focus on international guest editorships for individual themed issues and on issue-related cooperation with international specialist societies. Issue 4/2008, for example, was published in cooperation with the Department of Communication History of the German Society for Media and Communication Studies (DGPuK), Issue 4/2009 in cooperation with the Society for Media Studies (GfM), Issue 4/2010 in cooperation with Young Scholars Network of the ECREA (YECREA) and the NAKOGE (Young Talent Forum Communication History in the DGPuK). Issues 3/2011 and 4/2011 were designed in cooperation with the Communication History Section of ECREA, issue 1/2012 in cooperation with the "Verein Gedenkdienst".
