Newspaper science
Newspaper science is the scientific engagement with the print media, especially with newspapers and magazines . Individual press organs and press genres are examined in a national and international context with their history and language, structures, functions, goals, legal framework, publishers, editorial offices and departments. Often there are also conflicts with politics and the judiciary, markets, competitors and target groups, as well as reading time for periodicals and media usage in general.
In 1916 an Institute for Newspaper Studies was set up in Leipzig at the request of Karl Bücher , the first full professor was Erich Everth (1926–1933). In 1926 Karl d'Ester and Walther Heide founded the first specialist journal entitled “ Newspaper Science ” .
In the 1930s, the subject also established itself at the Berlin Friedrich Wilhelms University . After long struggles and many discussions, its director Emil Dovifat had succeeded in expanding newspaper science by including film and radio in all its manifestations to become the science of journalism . Newspaper studies are considered the forerunners of communication studies .
