Summary: | The Hour proposes a complex historical narrative between cold war, national development and history of journalism. In face of either the positive and the negatives reviews about its historical accuracy, we ask in this paper what is the TV Series historic point of view and how does it come up ? In this study that considers the TV fiction, its dialogues and formats, we hypothesize that the story developed in The Hour is self-referent : by showing historical events from the perspective of media changes, it adds verisimilitude to the historical discourses. Based on this proposition, the construction of the story follows a progressive logic which rub against the journalistic (epic) memory discontinuities.
