This commentary on Media Events frames it as centrally being about societal transformation. The issue of transformation has been central in philosophical and historical approaches to the event, and Media Events can be considered an extension of those traditions into media studies. The commentary suggests ways that Dayan and Katz’s thinking on transformation can be developed within a historical approach to the study of events and their mediations.
