Klarissa Lueg geht der Frage nach dem Zusammenhang zwischen sozialer Herkunft und der Hierarchie im journalistischen Feld nach. Dabei wird grundsatzlich die Herkunft von ChefredakteurInnen und JournalistenschulerInnen und die Bedeutung dieser sozialen Herkunft fur Berufszugang und Positionierungsstrategien erlautert. Es wird deutlich, dass nicht nur die Karrierewege der untersuchten Gruppen selbst ein herkunftsspezifisches Muster aufweisen, sondern dass auch die Verteilung und Zuweisung von Macht im journalistischen Feld eng mit der Herkunft ihrer TragerInnen verbunden ist.
