Abstract

The main goal of the article is to analyze the relationship between news journalism and collective memory. Based on the basic principles of news journalism, the specifics of the forms in which references to the past appear in media information materials are shown. Typification, premeditation and remediation were indicated as the most significant processes determining the ways of the presence of memory content in news. The main types of references to the past within news journalism were also discussed.
