In critical periods in the history of the Romanian people, their struggle to preserve their national identity proved to be a continuum, a value axis from which no generation of Romanians abandoned. The different strategies developed to achieve the goal represented by the realization of the Romanian unitary state surprise with the attitudinal-behavioral constant, the depth of the patriotic feeling, of the consciousness of nation and country. Among the institutions that have been involved in preserving the identity of the Romanians in Transylvania, the Church has a place of honor. The efforts supported directly, but also indirectly, respectively through the confessional press by the Orthodox and the Greek Catholic Church had a significant contribution to the awareness of the nationality of the Romanians in Transylvania occupied during the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

At the turn of the twentieth century, the Caransebeş Diocese printing activity was popularized through the Diocesan Bookstore, one of the most important cultural institutions from the Romanian South-West territory. Beside the religious printings, through the Diocesan Bookstore numerous works were made available to people from Banat, being written by Romanian authors that lived beyond the Carpathians. This contributed to the formation of a national and religious consciousness among Banat‟s communities.

The objective of the present research is to identify the characteristics of a media event, while analyzing the particularities of the media coverage regarding the death of film director, Sergiu Nicolaescu. The research is based on one hand on the theoretical presentation of the concept of "media-event", and on the other on the analysis of the particularities of the recalled event. In the case study we try to place the event in question within the cathegory of "restorative events", while evaluating mechanisms used by journalists such as "to mythologize" and "to ritualize". Classifying in the category of "media events" is permitted only if we follow a set of specific traits that include: hypermedia, audience, general public mobilisation, press materials, etc. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
