ABSTRACT
Baschwitz's wandering life completed a full circle. At the peak of his career, just before his retirement, Baschwitz participated in a key conference on journalism education, which immediately preceded the founding of the International Association of Mass Communication Research. The conference was in Strasbourg – then French again, and just opposite his German birthplace of Offenburg on the other side of the Rhine. This conference took place just before Strasbourg was designated the seat of the European parliament, which was also a symbol of Franco-German reconciliation.
