Abstract
This study draws on journalistic discourse about the death of Princess Diana to frame everyday newswork as cultural ritual, and show how some kinds of newswork serve to maintain and restore the core tenets of the culture's beliefs. The study focuses on the ritual of paradigm repair and its particular case employed in what-a-story newswork.Keywords
