Observations about German print media

As far as I know, there are three major types of print media system in the world. The Liberal Model prevails in the U.S and British countries. This model prefers strong norms as "objectivity", balance, and fairness, as well as other ethical norms. And the medias ought  to be seperated from political and parties and it required for high journalistic. And German medias belong to another system model called "democratic corporatize". This model is widely used in Central and Northern European medias. In conrast, this model combined the freedoms with some state intervention which is not allowed in U.S together. It also requried high degree of journalistic and professionlism.
In my observation, I found the U.S newspaper and Germany newspaper are quite similar to each other. Politics, news, sports, news events, and entertainment are all involved. And the classifications of them are pretty much as same as ours in U.S. However, the price of a newspaper in Germany is higher than U.S newpaper. Even so, we can still get access to read it online instead purchase it. What's more, I found that most Germany newspaper was only offerd from Monday to Saturday. But in U.S, the newspaper was being published and printed through the whole week. It's really a good experience for me to know these differences between these two media system.
