Loewe, who is touring the United States sponsored by a GermanAmerican grant, spoke on the topic, "Images of the United States in the Federal Republic of Germany." The lecture itself focused on comparing the journalism practices, political points of view, and overall views of the United States to those of Germans. Although German newspapers are privately owned and operate much like those here, the TV organization is very different. In Germany, the television stations are owned and operated by the government. The stations are free to produce whatever programming they want, but are answerable to a controlling board which ensures fairness and accuracy in reporting. "We as journalists are better off since we don't rely on ratings," said Loewe, noting that while sensationalism in the press is rare in Germany, it is commonly used in the U.S. to improve "I ratings. Additionally, advertising comprises only 26 percent of the television income, which helps free the journalist from having to keep advertisers happy. Loewe had critical comments for practices within the American media such as Time and Newsweek using different covers and headlines in their European editions, and ABC's "perpetual distortion of facts and opinions." He also cited an example from The New York Times which told of a Jewish woman being denied credentials to teach school. Only in the story's last paragraph, buried on another page, did it say that she was denied teaching credentials because she was a member of the Communist party. However, he admitted that German coverage of American events was often politically biased. According to Loewe, the Germans are more politically minded than most Americans.

Their elections also are more issue minded than ours, which are perceived as being more personal. Although the American media usually shows pictures of nuclear demonstrations and radical groups marching against American intervention in various forms, Loewe said that is not typical of the average German citizen. Under the provisions of the NATO alliance, Germany is not allowed to make its own nuclear weaponry. "70 percent of Germans believe we need U.S. nuclear support and involvement," he said.
