  • Following the international research field of college media, this dissertation focuses on German college television (abbreviated CTV). The dissertation aims to draw a comprehensive picture of the organizational and editorial conditions of German college television. Established CTV practices are investigated through qualitative expert interviews and non-participant observations in the USA, the pioneer country of college television, and a two-wave quantitative online survey in Germany. The survey data leads to a typology of German college television. A key distinction of CTV is its curricular affiliation. The extra-curricular outlets are far better equipped than their German counterparts. Within this group, the combination of peer learning and professional editorial structures creates an ideal training environment. In contrast, the intra-curricular projects, which are guided by instructors, simulate a real studio atmosphere. These CTV stations pursue a "two-fold mission" providing both higher education-based hands-on media training and informing a local or regional community. The German online survey identifies editorial heterogeneity that reflects regional higher education and media law infrastructures. The second survey wave finds that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly constrained CTV project workflows. CTV's digital environment was a key driver in allowing stations to continue under pandemic-related constraints. Overall, projects with intra-curricular links show a more stable continuity. In order to achieve homogeneous groups in the typology, the cluster analysis was reduced to three binary variables: curricular linkage, field specialization, as well as resources. This results in a four-cluster solution. The groundwork research enables further studies on the role of college media productions by students in the German higher education and media system.
