English | ISBN: 1107629209 | 2014 | 444 pages | PDF | 3 MB
When American and British troops swept through the German Reich in the spring of 1945, they confiscated a broad range of government papers and archives. These records were subsequently used in war crimes trials and published under Allied auspices to document the German road to war. In 1949, the West Germans asked for their return, considering the request one of the benchmarks of their new state sovereignty. This book traces the tangled history of the captured German records and the extended negotiations for their return into German custody. Based on meticulous research in British, American, and German archives, The Struggle for the Files highlights an overlooked aspect of early West German diplomacy and international relations. All participants were aware that the files constituted historical material essential to write German history and at stake was nothing less than the power to interpret the recent German past.

The Struggle for the Soul of Journalism The Pulpit versus the Press, 1833-1923


Free Download Ronald R. Rodgers, "The Struggle for the Soul of Journalism: The Pulpit versus the Press, 1833-1923"
English | 2018 | ISBN: 0826221580 | PDF | pages: 349 | 1.6 mb
In this study, Ronald R. Rodgers examines several narratives involving religion’s historical influence on the news ethic of journalism: its decades-long opposition to the Sunday newspaper as a vehicle of modernity that challenged the tradition of the Sabbath; the parallel attempt to create an advertising-driven Christian daily newspaper; and the ways in which religion-especially the powerful Social Gospel movement-pressured the press to become a moral agent. The digital disruption of the news media today has provoked a similar search for a news ethic that reflects a new era-for instance, in the debate about jettisoning the substrate of contemporary mainstream journalism, objectivity. But, Rodgers argues, before we begin to transform journalism’s present news ethic, we need to understand its foundation and formation in the past.

Loyalty in friendships is a complex and multifaceted concept that often hinges on the delicate balance between emotional support and the need for honesty. At its core, loyalty is characterized by a commitment to stand by a friend in times of need, to defend them, and to prioritize their well-being above other considerations. However, this commitment can sometimes lead to situations where friends may feel compelled to withhold truths that could be hurtful or damaging. This tension raises critical questions about whether loyalty should take precedence over honesty and how friends can navigate these conflicting demands.
