Summary, in English

This thesis paper takes a closer look at the degree to which sustainability and measures thereof are already existent within the media industry, and what development there has been up to now. For this status quo analysis, both the worldwide markets, like the U.S. and several European, as well as a closer look onto the German media market have been taken into account.
