Abstract
AbstractThe problematization of journalistic work is a recurring theme in literature. This paper traces the reservations journalists see themselves confronted with according to literary representations, how criticism is solidified, and how the suspicion that journalists are making up facts is becoming more universal. This will be done by looking at a historical line of texts, ranging from Die Journalisten by Gustav Freytag to Josef Haslinger’s Opernball. There are two main criteria underlying the choice of texts: first, the figures of journalists play a central role in each of the texts; second, these texts make visible the stages of a presumed development process from the middle of the 19th century through to today in the most succinct way possible.
