From institutions to influencers
Holocaust remembrance is increasingly shaped by convergent media ecologies of digital platforms. Drawing on a mixed-method content analysis of 43 profiles (35 influencers and 8 institutions) across Instagram, Facebook, and X on International Holocaust Remembrance Day 2024, this article examines how influencer practices intersect with institutional commemoration within hybrid media systems. The findings show that Instagram functions as a central a…
Journalists’ Personalization
This research extends the existing discussion on political personalization by examining it from a different angle: exploring how this phenomenon manifests within journalism and journalistic practice. Based on in-depth interviews with 18 prominent journalists from Israel, Italy, and the United States, alongside a quantitative content analysis of 600 tweets by 30 journalists from the same countries, our analysis compares political personalization p…
Journalists’ Ideological Branding
Previous scholarship has identified three levels of journalists' brand identity: individual, organizational, and institutional. Based on an exploration of Israeli journalists on the Hebrew-speaking Twittersphere during three consecutive election campaigns (2019–2021), this paper wishes to offer an additional level: Ideological Branding. Such branding is based on journalists' ideological, political, social, economic, and religious viewpoints as we…
How social memory works on social media
Social media challenge several established concepts of memory research. In particular, the day-to-day mundane discourse of social media blur the essential distinction between commemorative and non-commemorative memory. We address these challenges by presenting a methodological framework that explores the dynamics of social memory on various social media. Our method combines top-down data mining with a bottom-up analysis tailored to each platform.…
Tweeting the Holocaust
This article explores the uses and abuses of traumatic memory within the context of the multifaceted discursive representation of the Holocaust on social media. Combining computational, quantitative, and qualitative methodologies, the article offers a comprehensive mapping of the mnemonic spectrum extending beyond memory work conducted during official commemorative occasions. To do so, we examined a unique case: the Twitter manifestations of one …
Theorizing Media Memory
This article wishes to untangle the relationships between media and collective memory and present the contribution of communication scholarship in general, and journalism studies in particular, to our understanding of the term “collective memory.” After presenting the roots of the concept, the article deconstructs it by providing six perspectives on the term: (a) its multidirectional disposition (from the present to the past and vice versa), (b) …
Journalism and Memory
This chapter considers the past, present, and future of journalism and memory in two senses: first, as time periods in the evolution of the area of research and, second, as thematic elements in the scholarship on journalism and memory. It argues that the need to broaden and fine-tune investigations of journalism and memory in ways that take into account the full range of news temporalities and journalistic forms, systematically compare journalist…
Temporal affordances in the news
This article develops the concept of temporal affordances as a framework for understanding and evaluating the relationship between news technologies and journalistic storytelling practices. Accordingly, temporal affordances are defined as the potential ways in which the time-related possibilities and constraints associated with the material conditions and technological aspects of news production are manifested in the temporal characteristics of n…
Understanding Journalism Through a Nuanced Deconstruction of Temporal Layers in News Narratives
This article proposes a nuanced analysis of the temporal spectrum in news narratives, beyond the three conventional temporal orientations (past-present-future), thus affording a more complex understanding of journalism and its varied storytelling patterns. Combining qualitative and quantitative content analysis of print and online news items in the United States and Israel, this framework is used to evaluate and compare different journalistic cul…
Communicating Awe
Offering a cross-media exploration of Israeli media on Holocaust Remembrance Day, one of Israel's most sacred national rituals, over the past six decades, this fascinating book investigates the way in
Print Is Future, Online Is Past
This article examines the representation of past, present, and future in print and online news, while establishing a link between the temporal orientation of news stories and the constraints of the news cycle. Based on a content analysis of top news stories in the Israeli media, the study shows that a future temporal orientation is more prevalent in print media, which assume the role of projecting upcoming events, analyzing potential outcomes, an…
The war that wasn’t on the news
Media scholars investigating journalism during conflicts tend to focus on the news sections. This study, conversely, probes newspapers’ sports, lifestyle, arts and entertainment supplements. Based on a close reading of Israel’s leading daily newspapers’ supplements during the 2006 Lebanon War (July–August 2006), the article’s narratological analysis conceptualizes and distinguishes between ‘in-group nationalism’ and ‘out-group nationalism’; that …
On Media Memory
"This volume offers a comprehensive discussion of Media Memory and brings Media and Mediation to the forefront of Collective Memory research. The essays explore a diversity of media technologies (television, radio, film and new media), genres (news, fiction, documentaries) and contexts (US, UK, Spain, Nigeria, Germany and the Middle East)"
On Media Memory
Cultural Oxymora
This article provides a close reading of the Israeli version of the Idol format. Using the concept “cultural oxymora,” contradictions that serve to negotiate meanings, the analysis examines the case through six lenses: pluralism (stressing the institutionalized pluralism by auditioning in Israeli and Jewish communities outside the country), performance (songs that are associated with the Jewish State’s bereavement rituals while adding a counterhe…
Tuned to the nation’s mood
This article explores the concept of sonic memory via the investigation of popular music that constitutes a radio playlist. Our case study focuses on the songs aired on Israel’s Memorial Day for the Holocaust and the Heroism during the state’s first decade of local-commercial radio broadcasting (1993–2002). The critical analysis sought to understand what makes certain songs so identifiable with the national mourning ritual and the ways in which s…
Communicating Critique
This study explores the concept of “journalistic criticism” from theoretical and empirical perspectives. To achieve this goal the study analyzes the ways in which journalists shape representations of criticism through their coverage of events in general and especially in times of war and conflict: specifically, Israeli news media during the Second Lebanon War (July–August 2006). We present 2 models that deconstruct critical journalistic texts: Th…
Prime Time Commemoration
This study explores the ways in which commercial media perceive and manifest their public mnemonic role. It does so via an exploration of the “memory menu”—the contents and flow of programming—offered by Channel 2, Israel's leading commercial television channel, on the eve of the country's Memorial Day for the Holocaust and the Heroism (MDHH), in which the airing of commercials is banned. In order to do so, the study incorporates a multilevel ana…
Media oracles
As noted by Jaworski et al. (2003a, 2003b, 2004), a significant amount of news items refer to future events. This article examines the `discourse of the future' in order to identify its extent and different types. The research examined headlines in Israeli newspapers over a period of 18 years (1985—2003) and found that approximately 70 percent of the main headlines deal not only with past events but with future ones as well. Thus, contrary to the…

The Secular Holy Scriptures
This article investigates the tension between the sacred and the secular in the modern press, by examining the role of the holiday literary supplements. It analyzed a sample of 1050 supplements, published in seven main newspapers in Israel over a period of 52 years, since the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. In addition, a dozen interviews were conducted with present and former editors of the literary supplements. The main argument i…
