Almost 350,000 Germans emigrated to Brazil between 1824 and 1952. In total, more than 600 German-language newspapers, journals, and almanacs were published during that period. Since 2015, the initiative DOKUMENTE: BR has been analyzing, digitizing, and researching these texts produced in German. The reference work on Brazil’s German-language press is a comprehensive scholarly examination of this extensive corpus.
Under the theme "preserving and transforming media," this volume presents recent essays on communication studies and its social significance. The topics range from narrative journalist media to trust in the media, from early modern local newspapers to cover songs and the gender star.
