Abstract

Time is a central concept of news production. This paper explores the temporal organization as a dimension of analysis in the production of journalistic events and discusses the notion of “presentism”, the present that is omnipresent for Hartog. How can this phenomenon be understood within the journalistic discourse? The central idea of journalism is not the reduction of the present. The approach focuses on the way temporality integrates the system of rules that defines the particularity of the journalistic discourse to systemize the world and to produce the culturally related meaning to the present time information.
