Europe, anyone?

Summary

Die Studie bietet eine innovative Neuinterpretation des oft beklagten "Kommunikationsdefizits" der EU und wirft zugleich einen frischen Blick auf die scheinbar aussichtslose Mission, Europa an die Massenmedien zu vermitteln. Die Einblicke in die praktischen Herausforderungen von EU-Sprechern sind dabei für Forscher und Politiker gleichermaßen relevant.
