This article describes an ontology design pattern for modelling events as elements of discourse. Information provided about an event is not treated as universal truth, but rather as a statement of a particular agent, based on defined sources. We demonstrate how this pattern can be used for modelling historical debates. We also propose specialisation of the pattern, which models presentation of the current events in mass media for the purposes of citizen control.
