Abstract

[This chapter examines collective dynamics of German and US journalism. Even though competition and solidarity are realities of both groups of reporters, the analysis identifies the US case above all as a competitive press culture and the German case as an associational press culture. While US reporters thrive on competition, German reporters evaluate it as inherently negative. While US reporters contest associational structures, German reporters fall back on them. This difference accrues from varying strengths of market logics, individualism, and collectivism, which also yield different kinds of pack journalism.]
