They used new communications technologies, like wireless and radio, and they used the central businesses of news supply - news agencies. An astonishing array of German politicians, industrialists, military generals, and journalists became obsessed with news. At home, a news agency helped to start the Weimar Republic; competition over news agencies helped to usher in the Weimar Republic's demise. Abroad, news from Germany reached around the world and was surprisingly successful in places as far-flung as China and Chile. Although news is often seen as part of soft power, Germans used it to achieve hard power aims. Communications infrastructure and information became crucial parts of power politics. The Nazis seemed to be the master propagandists, but their efforts built on decades of German obsessions with news.-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a The news agency consensus -- A world wireless network -- Revolution, representation, and reality -- The father of radio and economic news in Europe -- Cultural diplomacy in Istanbul -- False news and economic nationalism -- The limits of communications -- The world war of words. 650 0 $a Mass media $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Mass media and culture $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a News agencies $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Mass media $z Germany $x History $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Communication $x History $z Germany $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Communication $x Political aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869984 650 7 $a Mass media. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011219 650 7 $a Mass media and culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011339 650 7 $a Mass media $x Influence. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01011251 650 7 $a News agencies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01037013 651 7 $a Germany. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01210272 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Harvard historical studies ; $v v. 190. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n42012387 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214020214.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=51E1428E0B6411EAA467CE0D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
