Preußens Pressepolitik Zwischen Abschaffung Der Zensur Und Reichspreßgesetz (1848 Bis 1874)

The volume documents Prussian press policy from the lifting of censorship in 1848 and the legal provisions of the 1874 Press Act. The examined sources reveal the numerous ways in which the press lacked freedom - despite the absence of censorship during these decades - as a result of government regulation, coercion, and propaganda. In addition, it describes the major central government steering and control bodies, including their impact and staff.
