Death of a celebrity and “media feast". The characteristics of a media event. Case study: the death of film director, Sergiu Nicolaescu

Summary/Abstract: The objective of the present research is to identify the characteristics of a media event, while analyzing the particularities of the media coverage regarding the death of film director, Sergiu Nicolaescu. The research is based on one hand on the theoretical presentation of the concept of “media-event”, and on the other on the analysis of the particularities of the recalled event. In the case study we try to place the event in question within the cathegory of “restorative events”, while evaluating mechanisms used by journalists such as “to mythologize” and “to ritualize”. Classifying in the category of “media events" is permitted only if we follow a set of specific traits that include: hypermedia, audience, general public mobilisation, press materials, etc.
