The start of the 1990s saw the fall of the Berlin Wall and the
reunification of Germany into one new nation that would be a
formidable economic force around the world. But to many Americans
educated by the news and entertainment media, the image of Germany
remained a holdover from World War II and the Holocaust. When the
American media were not presenting an outdated, jackbooted view of
Germany, they were portraying it as a country epitomizing the
world's Communist/Capitalist struggle. For three decades the
American news and entertainment media presented the image of
Germany as being a country hopelessly divided. Now they were faced
with a new country and a new set of images to deal with just as
Germany exerts itself more powerfully than ever on the world
economic scene.
How much attention has this new Germany received in the American
media, and how accurate are the new portrayals? Have the media
images changed during the 1990s and, if so, how much and in what
direction? Willis examines these issues as well as the status of
international news in the American media. The result is a book of
great interest to scholars, researchers, and students involved with
the mass media, contemporary affairs, and European Studies.
