Talk:Censorship in East Germany

message: I will improve it eventually, bringing the language up to par and adding the current situation, but I don't have the time right now. This article has great potential, especially for its Eastern perspective.
Have a wonderful day!

replies: text: Clearly, it needs a lot more sections, including censorship in Nazi Germany, censorship in all German  regimes before that, and censorship in current-day Germany; also, any instances of censorship in West Germany should also be noted. *Dan T.* 05:41, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Neutrality is more compromised by the fact that the article is a redirect from Censorship in Germany which is then added in some template about a whole list of countries giving the idea of a current event article (and not one of historic value as this is).

message: The article doesnt really cover much about censorship of material originating from outside the GDR. To what extent were Western books, newspapers etc available ? 86.112.90.70 (talk) 18:20, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

message: Hello everyone! @JonasJeunink and I have taken it upon us to edit this article. I plan on editing the section on implementation, while he will edit ‘Censorship in Art and Culture’. Firstly, under implementation I would like to add a subheader about the structure of the apparatus through which censorship was implemented. Underneath this subheader, another one will follow which will briefly summarize the areas in which censorship was applied: Literature, Media, Art and Culture. Then each of these areas will receive a sub-subheader under which the censorship in this specific area will be elaborated upon. I will restructure the given information on censorship in literature, and hopefully add information as well, but in any case add citations. I will draft a new sub-sub section on censorship in media, also including citations.  @JonasJeunink will take over for the section on art and culture. Together we will furthermore edit the introductory section by summarizing the information the article will contain.Tmsuva (talk) 11:14, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this be two ? There were two GDR terrestrial channels and a short lived experimental (part time) satellite service. The only other "state channels" available were from neighbouring countries and the USSR. 2A00:23C3:70A:4100:4010:AEC7:8920:399 (talk) 10:44, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Five state TV Channels 

message: The article covers internal publication (within the GDR) and censorship in great detail but there's very little about publications (books/magazines/music) from the West. Were these widely available ? Were they automatically presumed banned unless specifically permitted ? Were books/magazines on non-political subjects obtainable ? What happened to Western visitors bringing in reading materials (either for personal use or distribution) etc etc ? 2A00:23C3:70A:4100:C44E:4F9E:BE11:7CA6 (talk) 16:06, 18 August 2020 (UTC)
