Abstract

It is a premise for this paper that a key feature of storytelling and the construction of narratives, including those put forward by journalists, are their ability to translate the unusual and the abnormal into an intelligible form. (Bruner 1991) In journalism, a series of conventional standards that draw on myths, common sense and cultural 'master narratives' are used. They are not understood in detail, but taken for granted and easily accepted by the readers, the audience.
