Abstract

Commemorative journalism has become a key element in shaping the national identity, as well as in keeping and preserving the collective memory of a community or nation. This article analyzes, by means of the framing theory, the way that written press reflected over a 3 years period, between 2009 and 2011, the process of commemorating the Romanian Principalities Union Day. The research focused on January 24th due to its great importance to the Romanian’s history, both from a political and an identity perspective. The analysis showed that 19 frames were used in relation to this commemoration, almost half of the articles employing political related frames and proving that media didn’t focus on the historical data or commemorative rituals, but rather on the political confrontations and debates.
