Memory and comprehension of radio and television news were studied in two experimental settings. News items dealing with psychologically close subject matters were most easily recalled. A truncated memory phenomenon, where information about places and principals is foregrounded in memory, as well as different types of misunderstandings were found. The studies revealed a close relationship between recall and previous knowledge. The results are discussed in relation to cognitive theories of discourse comprehension and memory, especially schema theories.
