This article discusses the image and perceptions of Russia in Germany, and the news coverage disseminated by the journal "Neue Europäische Fama," which was distributed in Leipzig, Germany from 1735-1756. The author discusses the origination of the journal, which was produced as one of many journals through the combined resources of the university, the press and the book sellers. The author analyzes the news coverage of Russia by the journal in two ways. First, the proportion of articles reporting on Russia compared to all of the news coverage in general is examined, and then the frequency of topics and the key points in the actual reports are analyzed.
