Verfassungsrechtliche Determination von Informations-und Auskunftsansprüchen der Medien in der Informationsgesellschaft

In the present work, the constitutional determination of rights to information for media is examined, with special attention being paid to the developments of the modern information society with a significantly increased and easily accessible volume of information and a heterogeneous landscape of sub-constitutional information rights. In particular, the questions will be investigated as to the extent of a direct constitutional right of the media to information and to which extent the information needs of the media are already adequately met by the Freedom of Information Act.
