Essential representatives from art, science, and the practice of journalism comprehensively analyze and describe all areas of contemporary cultural journalism in this volume. An indispensable handbook! The feuilleton in its classical form has undergone enormous transformations and faces several upheavals. Hardly any section of mass media has changed more decisively in recent decades. Rarely has a journalistic genre had to celebrate the 'historical disappearance' of the 'figure of the critic,' thus also the self-dissolution as self-mutilation in the spotlight of self-created spots. The media space for art is disappearing as a result of controlled cultural audience decline; cultural pages are mutating into lifestyle, reader service, and PR spaces, often fueled by the economic pressure of financially strapped media.
