Abstract
Description
The frequent contemporary construction of the past events is subject to exceedingly different
forms of media. The thesis at hand has selected the form of televised media and the format of the
newscast, focusing upon the definite actualization of past events.
The theoretical section of the thesis analyzes how the news media shapes our collective memory,
the specific impact that the television as a visual media has upon it, the role of the reporter and
how the past and history are actualized in case of anniversaries and events of considerable
magnitude.
The objectives of the thesis at hand include mapping the news stream by means of content
analysis and to focus on the anniversary journalism utilizing qualitative text analysis. The
secondary goal of the thesis was to assess the narrative manifestation and its origins.
Among the significant conclusions of the thesis is the major actualization of anniversary
journalism during certain time periods, whereas other such periods can be rendered without
sufficient attention.
The past were contextualized primarily within the framework of the present, serving these events
as a background item, providing an element of duration, place or context.
The qualitative analysis was utilized to evaluate the televised newscasts reporting the deportation
theme, wherein the discourse between the victim and the enemy are clearly defined. This
analysis was performed on a macro level upon reported article texts as well as through the
personal recollections of the victims.
