stylistic features of online news in constructing meaning and
shaping cultural representations of people and places - in
particular, France and Muslims/Islam. Taking the 2016 violent
attack in Nice, France as a case study, Ashley Riggs analyses
online news coverage of the attack from the UK, Spain, and
Switzerland, three distinct linguistic and cultural spaces. An
innovative mixed-methods approach, including content analysis and
elements of translation criticism and comparative stylistics, is
used to analyse this corpus, revealing the frequency and influence
of stylistic devices found in online news and exploring how they
help to shape reader interpretations. Drawing conclusions about
journalistic practices by place and interrogating the notions of
'European identity' and 'European journalism', Stylistic Deceptions
in Online News reveals how stylistic features may vary according to
both political leanings and national and regional contexts, and the
influence these features have upon readers.
