Although journalism has always been an important vehicle of
collective memory, it has been neglected in discussions about how
memory works. This fascinating book aims to correct that
disjuncture, by tracking the ways in which journalism and shared
memory mutually support, undermine, repair and challenge each
other. How is journalism's address to memory different from that of
other institutions? What would the study of memory look like
without journalism? And how would our understanding of journalism
fall short without paying attention to memory? Bringing together
leading scholars in journalism and memory studies, this collection
makes explicit the longstanding and complicated role that
journalism has played in keeping the past alive. From anniversary
issues and media retrospectives to simple verbal and visual
analogies connecting past and present, journalism incorporates an
address to earlier times across the wide array of its conventions
and practices. How it does so and which triumphs and problems ensue
in our understanding of collective memory constitute the charter of
this volume.
