Abstract

From the perspective of media memory production, short video news is not only a new type of memory carrier, but also a memory practice that influences the audience's understanding of the past. With the features of low threshold of production, strong social attributes and easy interaction, short video news plays an important role in bridging the information gap, shaping collective memory, and cohesion of national identity. In order to explore the memory practice of short video news in depth, this paper chooses the short video news works of China Journalism Award, which is the trend of short video news production, as the research object, aiming at analysing the highly schematized plot line and narrative strategy in these works.
