Abstract
In divided Germany in recent years an `electronic reunification' took place in front of the TV sets day-by-day. People in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) received information and entertainment from the western media. For the GDR rulers, this created difficult problems. The collapse of the Honecker regime had many sources of course; but an important factor in the process of political change was the influence of West German TV, which has an excellent image in East Germany, for the quality and credibility of its news and current affairs programmes. East Germans shaped their picture of the world under the continuous influence of western TV.
