This book examines Heinrich von Kleist's relationships to the media as author, journalist, and correspondent. His literary works were a sensitive reflection of the media landscape of his times, and his publication projects, the best known of which was the Berliner Abendblätter , may be seen as an experiment to develop something akin to social media, in which the audience actively collaborated in the media production.
