 <abstract xml:lang="en">
 <p>This article examines profiling methods of character representation in crime media narration. Based on the material of two reports (from the Daily Mail and CNN) about the murder of Alex Pretti, instances of external, internal, and zero focalization are identified and described. The methodology consists of an integrated approach, synthesizing narratological, semiotic, profiling, as well as comparative and content analysis. The study demonstrates the way the narrative mechanisms shape conflicting profiles of the event participants. It is established that the Daily Mail predominantly constructs the image of an "aggressive activist," emphasizing the victim's behaviour in the 11 days leading up to the tragedy, whereas CNN focuses on the forensic analysis of the moment of the shooting, creating a profile of "unprofessional security forces" and re-categorizing Pretti as a victim. The conclusion is made that focalization acts as a key tool for the selection and accentuation of traits, determining the interpretative framework of the event</p>

 <p>В статье исследуются профайлинговые методы репрезентации персонажа в криминальном медианарративе. На материале двух репортажей (Daily Mail и CNN), посвященных убийству Алекса Претти, выявляются и описываются случаи внешней, внутренней и нулевой фокализации. В основе методологии лежит комплексный подход, синтезирующий нарратологический, семиотический, профайлинговый, а также сравнительно-сопоставительный и контент-анализ. Исследование демонстрирует, как нарративные механизмы формируют конфликтующие профили участников событий. Установлено, что Daily Mail конструирует преимущественно образ «агрессивного активиста», акцентируя поведение жертвы за 11 дней до трагедии, тогда как CNN фокусируется на криминалистическом анализе момента стрельбы, создавая профиль «непрофессиональных силовиков» и переводя Претти в категорию жертвы. Делается вывод о том, что фокализация выступает ключевым инструментом селекции и акцентуации черт, определяющим интерпретационную рамку события</p>
