Press and Politics in the Weimar Republic

Review

"This is a highly original study that fills a gaping hole in the literature on Weimar Germany. Focusing on Berlin, but always with an eye to the 'national' picture, Fulda's work offers not so much a history of the press in the Weimar years as a history of the Republic through the lens of the press. The links he forges between political coverage, entertainment and the increasing consumer orientation of publishers and readers alike show how much we can gain by approaching politics as an integral part of popular culture, and vice-versa."–Corey Ross, University of Birmingham
