Forgive my ignorance, but how many times a day does the news come on in Germany? In the US it's nearly constant...

		With "german 8 pm news" they mean the main edition of the television news on the first channel which exists since 1952. there can be 20 editions per day. the main edition is so influencial, the evening programm (prime time) on many other german television channels starts at 8:15 pm. in the 90s they tried to start the main program at 8 pm, but the people only switched to the channels at 8:15 pm, when the main edition was finished. so they reverted their schedule after a month. > At 20:00 each evening, Das Erste (The First), Germany's oldest public television network, airs the country's most-watched news broadcast, the main edition of the Tagesschau, which is also simulcast on most of its other specialist and regional channels (The Third). The conclusion of the bulletin 15 minutes later marks the beginning of prime time, as it has since the 1950s. In consequence, most other channels—public and private alike—also choose to start their prime time at 20:15. In the 1990s, the commercial channel Sat.1 suffered a significant loss of audience share when it tried moving the start of its prime time to 20:00. via: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_time#Germany

Have you noticed any major shifts in how the news covers certain topics (e.g., politics, climate, migration) from 2014 to 2025? For example, how did coverage of events like the 2015 refugee crisis or the COVID-19 pandemic evolve?

I've been contemplating archiving news as well.

The threat of large silos which will represent much of current historical record being rewritten is significant.

It is technically easy to accomplish using LLMs.
