A Blank Spot
Central Asia in German Reporting
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
Central Asia’s economic and political importance is growing. Yet the region remains in the shadows of German public awareness. None of Germany’s radio and television stations and quality newspapers maintain bureaus in the region. The German media are negligent in reporting on developments in Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan. There is a lack of basic information, to say nothing of background reports and analyses.
