    Open Access•Roei Davidson, Oren Meyers•ARTICLE•Journalism Studies•2026•References: 14

  • Time after time: Longitudinal qualitative interviewing and the interplay between structure and agency in communication research

    Open Access•Oren Meyers, Roei Davidson•ARTICLE•Journal of Communication•2025

    Given that communicative phenomena are inherently processual, the scarcity of a longitudinal narrative perspective is an evident lacuna in communication research. This article argues that to explore communicative processes as a longitudinal experience, shaped by the constant tension between structure and agency, researchers can elicit and analyze stories that information producers and consumers construct in their own words across time. Consequent…

  • “Despite everything, love”: Commemorative journalism and the rereading of the critical rereading of the Israeli past

The research questions focused on three central narrative characteristics of journalism: protagonists, plots, and narrators.

  • How social memory works on social media: A methodological framework

    Open Access•Anat Ben-David, Oren Meyers et al.•ARTICLE•Memory Mind & Media•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 51

    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.…

  • The critical potential of commemorative journalism

    Open Access•Oren Meyers•ARTICLE•Journalism•2019•Cited by: 3•References: 8

    Previous studies of commemorative journalism have mostly stressed its integrative functionality and tendency to provide oversimplified narrations of the past. Correspondingly, this article explores the critical and at times subversive potential of commemorative journalism. It does so via the analysis of commemorative-photographic supplements, issued by Israeli dailies between 1968 and 2013. The study first identifies the storytelling building blo…

Finally, the entry looks at key research trajectories shaping media memory studies and the current challenges facin…

  • Conceptualizing Journalistic Careers: Between Interpretive Community and Tribes of Professionalism

    Open Access•Oren Meyers, Roei Davidson•ARTICLE•Sociology Compass•2016•Cited by: 10•References: 41

    Professionalism is a concept that centers on specialization of labor and control of occupational practice. It has traditionally been used to describe and define individuals who are affiliated with an occupational community that has managed to secure a certain measure of autonomy and jurisdiction over an area of expertise and has a claim to a public service ethos. In this review essay, we consider the changing professional status of journalism. Wh…

  • Everybody’s team? The national narrative in the Hebrew press covering Israeli national soccer team matches

    Open Access•Haim Hagay, Oren Meyers•ARTICLE•Media Culture & Society•2015

    Sports media offer a unique discourse site because the nationalistic nature of reporting is often radicalized and in most cases ‘the national flag is waved with eternal enthusiasm’. Therefore, this study examined changes in the coverage of the Israeli national soccer team between 1949 and 2006 through an exploration of the identity of the journalistic narratives’ storytellers and protagonists. Our findings illuminate a complex picture: whereas du…

We present 2 models that deconstruct critical journalistic texts: Th…

    Open Access•Oren Meyers, Eyal Zandberg et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Communication•2009

In order to do so, the study incorporates a multilevel ana…
