Shortly after the suicide bombings and mass shootings that took place in and around Paris on 13 November 2015, journalists of the French daily newspaper Le Monde decided to honor and commemorate the victims by publishing their portraits and creating an online memorial called #EnMemoire (#InRemembrance). Until now, studies of these types of memorials have concentrated primarily on analyses of portraits and their narratives. They have not, however, focused on the environments in which they were produced and received. Likewise, no study has yet explored the journalist’s role or the place of empathy in the online-memorial creation process. Based on memory and journalism studies, this article discusses therefore the online memorial creation process and the role empathy plays in the ways journalists—as mediators of mourning—and readers interact with each other. It also addresses sensitivities the study researcher developed after experiencing these events.

在2015年11月13日在巴黎及其周围发生自杀性爆炸和大规模枪击事件后不久，法国日报《世界报》的记者决定通过发布受害者肖像并创建一个名为#EnMemoire（#InRemembrance的在线纪念馆）来悼念和纪念受害者。 ）。到目前为止，对这些类型的纪念馆的研究主要集中在对肖像及其叙事的分析上。但是，他们没有将重点放在生产和接收它们的环境上。同样，尚无研究探讨记者在网络纪念创作过程中的作用或同情心。根据记忆和新闻研究，因此，本文讨论了在线纪念馆的创建过程以及移情在记者（作为哀悼的调解人）与读者相互交流的方式中的作用。它还解决了研究人员在经历这些事件后所产生的敏感性。
