Abstract
The article sets out to consider theoretical aspects of event communication and to analyze a number of news items that reappeared on the BBC Homepage site during one day, and thus to prove that events are constructed as a result of multiple and repeated references to the related episodes within a certain period of time and focus change achieved by shifts in news location on the front page and a variety of headlines. The analysis also shows that words play a more important role in conveying messages, whereas pictures are used as effective means of emotional influence.
