The lecture looks at the blossoming discipline of memory studies and sheds light on concepts which are useful starting points for enquiry into connections between memory and the workings of communication media. The lecture argues that there is a close nexus between memory and media which manifests itself in the ways memory is produced "in", "by" and "through" media. It pinpoints principal sites of media memory scholarship with emphasis on journalism, media’s engagement in stimulation of individual memory, media’s involvement in sedimentation of collective memory (mainly in channelling potential social hegemony) and transformation brought about by transfer of memory processes on the digital platform.
