In the past, ideologies and religions had a real impact on the media. In the current era of mass media and communication strategies, perception takes priority over identity and new questions arise: how to introduce faith and religion in a pluralising and detraditionalising world? What possibilities are offered by the new media? How can technical innovations be incorporated in church communication?

Journalists have to find new ways to get a grip on these issues too.
This 1998 book analyzes the causes and consequences of the massive Eastern European debt to the West accumulated in the 1970s.

Pauline erlebt die Höhen und Tiefen eines ausschweifenden und zügellosen Lebens am Hofe eines Fürstbischofs und eines Marquis im Frankreich des Mittelalters.
