Otto Groth and the Journalism essence

Abstract

The selection of texts written by Otto Groth and translated by Liriam Sponholz sets new reading possibilities of the work of this German thinker. Frequently cited, his writings deal with the ‘essence’ of practice and a science that claims autonomy. Groth considers newspapers and magazines as cultural work and he places newspaper science as culture science. The three parts that complete this volume are an invitation to discuss the nature of journalism and its place in the scientific research.
