A Painful Realisation
How Osteuropa Texts “Function” in the Online Era
Deutsche Fassung
Abstract
Osteuropa has always had to fight for reach – in an era of increasing dissemination of content on the internet, probably more than ever. The magazine is a scientific-journalistic hybrid, which means that the goals of both directions have to be weighed against each other. Sometimes, they contradict each other, precisely when it comes to – in journalistic jargon – the “functioning” of texts. So, what in future will an article in Osteuropa need to bring to the table in order to appeal to and reach more people?
