Hansa
League of Towns and Economic Power
Since the 11th century the population in Europe was growing. The reason for it was, among other things, an increase in agricultural production due to a good climate. A period of town foundations began which lasted over 300 years. The trading settlement of Lübeck was founded in the Baltic Sea region as a rival to Schleswig. Due to its favourable location the new town rapidly attracted more and more merchants. The revenue from trade clearly exceeded the taxes from the peasants and therefore the rulers encouraged trade. The growing population in Europe could not or did not want to provide themselves with locally available products. As a result, long-distance trade became an increasingly profitable business. Especially the upper sectors of the population were supplied with luxury goods.

The Daily Newspaper
Every day, there is a surge of news reaching us via different news channels. In spite of TV and Internet, the daily paper still is one of the most important main sources of news. But how is a newspaper created? The film shows the production of a paper in the course of one day. Starting with the editorial meeting in the morning, in which the topics and deadlines are determined, the film accompanies a journalist during her research work. You can see how a journalistic interview is conducted and what the photographer must consider when taking a press photo. Back in the editorial office, the editor’s work is illustrated, which includes the page layout and the writing of an online article in today’s time. Impressive pictures from the printing centre depict the process from the digital page to the finished newspaper. Together with the comprehensive accompanying material, the DVD is perfectly suited for use at school
