Abstract:

The Muhammad cartoon controversy conflict catalyzed numerous debates on the topics of freedom of the press, its limits, and the balance in accordance with other human rights. This study analyzes this discussion about freedom of speech in 3 German newspapers. It concentrates on the thematic focus of discourse content and its fluctuations in the course of time. Thereby, 5 argumentation patterns are identified: Articles approving limitations of freedom of speech or disapproving them (religious limitations play a major role in these 2 clusters), articles concentrating on censorship, articles concentrating on other endangerments of freedom of speech, and articles discussing the general necessity for safeguarding freedom of speech. Furthermore, the viewpoint of the media, which do not only report on the discussion but are affected by it themselves, is analyzed. The media use editorial pages to express their disapproval about limiting their freedom. Reasons for freedom of speech and its advantages hardly occur in the German media.
