Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the models that media apply to represent collective memory and historical discourse into the public space. The focus is on the relation between media populism and the discourses of the past. The paper comments on the defining role of media logic in the mediation of collective memory and historical knowledge. It also presents major theoretical sources and their respective interpretation of the category ‘memory’ and its correlation to history. Furthermore, it reviews the aspects through which media theory interprets the thematization of collective memory by news outlets.
