This article puts forward a new description of the narrative present and distinguishes in journalistic discourse between “reporting present” and historical present. These two forms differ in terms of their temporal perspective, in the way they relate to events and in the way they give access to information from a cognitive point of view. The temporal perspective is simultaneous only with the “reporting present”, simultaneous and retrospective with the historical present. The relationship between the event and the original point is aoristic with the historical present, composite with the “reporting present”. Finally historical present involves an epistemic access to information whereas “reporting present” is based upon a perceptual point of view. |
