@phdthesis{Lubjuhn2013, author = {Lubjuhn, Sarah}, title = {The bait must be attractive to the fish and not to the fisherman : entertainment-education collaborations between professionals in the sustainability and the television field}, publisher = {Oldib-Verl.}, address = {Essen}, isbn = {978-3-939556-35-0}, pages = {373}, year = {2013}, abstract = {In communication sciences partnerships between entertainment media professionals and sustainability organizations conveying prosocial messages are called {"}Entertainment-Education (E-E) collaborations{"}. Whereas comprehensive research takes place in countries such as the Netherlands and the US, the field is a terra incognita in Germany. Even though German E-E collaborations are designed and implemented they still are unusual experiments. The qualitative study presents first results on characteristics, conditions and forms of E-E collaborations in Germany's television field since the 1990s. It reveals various factors leading to a highly complex situation for the collaborating partners. One central factor is the media legislation, which does not provide a clear orientation standard for the partners. Another one is the public acceptance of E-E collaborations. Some forms are accepted while others are not. Hence, for German television formats, forms with a low to medium level of collaboration (E-E service and E-E license partnerships) should be preferred in contrast to high level collaboration forms (E-E co-productions and E-E inscript participations).}, language = {en} }
