The present work by the two journalists Otto Meynen and Franz Reuter serves as a guide through the German newspaper landscape of 1928 and attempts to highlight the most essential features of the German press from the confusing abundance of publications. The first part aims to answer the fundamental questions of the newspaper industry: it presents the conventional components of a newspaper (such as the feuilleton, politics, and advertising sections), the urban centers of daily press, the production of a newspaper, and the profession of journalism. The second part of the work then examines in detail the trade and economic section as an essential element of most contemporary newspapers, because, as Otto Meynen states, the material content is prominently featured here.
