Berlin - City of Media

Berlin is the German capital – and the media capital. The flow of news never subsides here – around 135,000 Berliners work in more than 10,000 companies in the media and communications industry. There are more than 13,000 people working in the film and TV industry alone in Berlin. All of the big German TV stations have a 'capital studio' in the centre of Berlin. The international press is also well represented in the city with around 400 journalists reporting back to their head offices from the German capital. And Berlin is now the location for agencies too.
