Diese spontanen Ersatzleistungen bzw. die selektive Verweigerung gegenüber den herrschenden Medienverhältnissen untergruben das Funktionieren der DDR-Kommunikationssysteme noch zusätzlich. Für ein Land mit 16 Millionen Einwohnern hatte die DDR indes ein beachtliches Mediensystem installieren können. Niedrige, weil teilweise beträchtlich subventionierte Gebühren und Preise ermöglichten einen breiten Medienzugang (Kino, Theater, Plattenmarkt, Literatur eingeschlossen). Allerdings waren weder das inhaltliche Spektrum weit genug noch die Angebotsqualität derart, um als jugendlicher Rezipient permanent in Selektionszwänge zu geraten - ein Umstand, der sich mit dem Herbst '89 gerade dort schlagartig änderte, wo es am wenigsten vermutet werden konnte: in der politischen Information.

Hier können sich in einer Phase der Destabilisierung alter individueller und sozialer Strukturen und des Noch-nichtVorhandenseins neuer vor allem für die Medien mehr Einflußmöglichkeiten ergeben als es gemeinhin im Lehrbuch steht.
