How prevalent are British and American media in German culture and what are the cultural attitudes toward them?

(Disclaimer: This is a throwback, I just had not been able to post this before)

British and American media are consumed worldwide. Every country may have their very own radio stations, newspapers and television programmes, but other than those, British and American media are still very prevalent and important.

In Germany, this is the case. In addition to German media, majority of the entertainment industry seems to rely on American and British television shows. Besides, a lot of news – either in the form of newspaper or digital media – are also delivered in English or are of English origin.

The consumption of foreign media is often interpreted as widening one’s horizon. American media is often perceived as more entertainment-based while British media is seen as more reliable or informative.

[*We use every + singular noun to refer individually to all the members of a complete group of something:

There’s a photograph on the wall of every child in the school.

Try to answer every question.

When every refers to the subject of the clause, we use a singular verb:

Every player wants to be in a winning team.

Not: Every player want …

Every cook needs good knives and a chopping board.

The negative of every is normally not every:

Not every noun has a plural form.

We use singular pronouns and possessives to refer back to every + noun, especially in more formal styles, and especially when what we refer to is not human:

Every store has a manager in charge of it.

Every area has its own park.]
