This report examines major structural changes in Germany’s media industries, documenting the steady erosion of legacy print businesses alongside the rapid rise of digital services. It shows how global platforms increasingly shape advertising markets and audience flows, contributing to higher levels of concentration across several sectors. Overall, it paints a picture of a media system in transition, driven by technological, economic, and behavioural change.
