German term

Inlandsberichterstattung

Homework / test German to English Other History
This term refers to a reports published within the Bundestag in the mid twentieth century. I think "domestic report" doesn't quite cut it (but might have to do if I can't think of anything better!)

The sentence reads, "Er hatte einen guten Eindruck vom bisherigen Ergebnis in der Inlandsberichterstattung gewonnen."

Peer comment(s):

agree Steffen Walter : (In response to writeaway: "inland" seems to be used very rarely in conjunction with intelligence and espionage, whereas "national" appears to be a valid alternative.)

neutral writeaway : think that national or even inland are better than domestic here

Peer comment(s):

neutral Björn Vrooman : https://www.gov.uk/report-domestic-abuse If at all, it's national. Berichterstattung is typically coverage; here, it's government reports: https://www.acf.hhs.gov/otip/research-policy/government-repo...

You may well be right with your ideas. The context could have been sketched out better, though...
disagree Ramey Rieger (X) : Hi Michael, you can't be serious? Your grammar is about as Denglish as it gets! I'm shocked!
