Cornelia Varwig Abstract Theoretical and methodological approaches of discourse analysis in the wake of Foucault focus on how knowledge is constituted in discourses. They are therefore well suited for investigating the epistemic status of knowledge, and thus also uncertain knowledge and igno-rance. However, discourse research does not offer specialized analytical approaches to media discourses with their specific boundary conditions and inherent logics, while at the same time in practice many analyses deal with media products. Some writers even bemoan a “media oblivion” in discourse theory. This article aims to demonstrate how theoretical approaches in communication studies can help to specify the role of journalists as discourse producers and participants, as well as journalistic production principles. In the empirical part of the article, the scientifically ambiguous knowledge about burnout is used as an example to show ten discursive-communi-cative functions that the thematization of epistemic uncertainty can have in journalistic articles. © 2023, Facultas Verlags- und Buchhandels AG.
