Gert Hagelweide's work is an immense achievement, bibliographically compiling for the first time all publications relevant to the press and component publications - from the beginnings up to and including 1970. Ultimately this work aims to provide a literary record of all subject areas of the German press, publishing and journalism, press history, the various different forms of expression, the news and, not least, press law. Upon completion it should contain over 100,000 literary references.
