Click here to read the Institut fuer Publiztik at the Universitat Mainz presentation of Noelle's attack on critics. The document is proffered as a "Protocol" of an interview with a Chronicle of Higher Education reporter. The Chronicle subsequently described this presentation as a "heavily rewritten transcript" of the actual interview, with a noticable spin that distorted the sum and substance of what actually took place.
Elisabeth Noelle's 'Im Hotel Markischer Adler' article is often cited by supporters in her defense. In fact, however, modern-day mistranslation of key words and phrases in the article distort significantly the original version that appeared in Das Reich, March 9, 1941.

Noelle's protoges frequently employ highly misleading translations.Click here to see an example of Noelle's application to join the "National Socialist Student Struggle Aid of the NSDAP's [i.e., the Nazi Party's] Union of National Socialist Students" described as an application to join the "Association of University Women."

Of particular interest are Kepplinger's role in the European Journal of Communication, and the Center for Media Research and Public Affairs, Washington D.C., and Donsbach's academic/political ambitions in the International Association for Mass Communication Research (IAMCR), political communication division of the International Communication Association (ICA) and the World Association for Public Opinion Research (WAPOR).
