ABSTRACT

Recent Cold War historiography has increasingly put the spotlight on the many different ways in which the Iron Curtain was perforated before the Berlin wall fell. One factor which arguably played a key role in that respect was the East-West communication that took place thanks to radio, TV, and other media. Mass communication during the Cold War, however, is still an under-researched theme. This article will introduce the reader to themes, approaches and theses in the extant literature about Western journalism in the Soviet Bloc during the Cold War, and it will also identify areas which call for further investigation.

冷战期间苏联集团中的西方新闻业：主题，方法，论点

摘要

最近的冷战史学越来越使人们关注柏林幕墙倒塌之前对铁幕打孔的许多不同方式。可以说在这方面起关键作用的一个因素是通过广播，电视和其他媒体进行的东西方交流。然而，冷战期间的大众传播仍然是一个研究不足的主题。本文将向读者介绍冷战期间苏联集团中有关西方新闻的现有文献的主题，方法和论点，还将确定需要进一步研究的领域。
