This book is an indispensable "cutting edge" book for students and
researchers of journalism studies seeking a text that illustrates
and applies a range of linguistic and discourse-analytic approaches
to the analysis of journalism. While the form, function and
politics of the language of journalism have attracted scholars from
a wide range of academic disciplines, too often this analysis has
reduced the work of journalists to text-characteristics alone. In
contrast, this collection is united by the principle that
journalistic discourse is always socially situated and the result
of a series of processes - produced by journalists in accordance
with particular production techniques and in specific institutional
settings - and as such, analysis requires more than the methods
offered by linguists. The contributors to this book draw on a range
of the most prominent theoretical and methodological approaches to
media discourse - including Conversation Analysis, Critical
Discourse Analysis, the APPRAISAL framework, Multi-modal Analysis
and Rhetoric - in making sense of the language of newspapers
(national, local and minority press), television and online
journalism. Written in an engaging style by distinguished academic
authorities, this book provides a state-of-the-art review of the
subject. This book was published as a special issue of Journalism
Studies.
