The Discourse of News Values breaks new ground in multimodal news
discourse, offering the first book-length treatment of the
discursive analysis of news values and the construction of
newsworthiness. The book explores how the news is "sold" (made
newsworthy) to audiences through the semiotic resources of language
and image, providing a new analytical framework which can be used
by other researchers in their own subsequent studies. It combines
in-depth theoretical discussion with analyses of authentic news
discourse (both language and images) from around the
English-speaking world, including three empirical case studies: one
that analyzes news values around the topic of cycling across
different English-speaking cultures; one that analyzes images
disseminated by news media organizations via Facebook; and a third
that focuses on the 100 "most shared" news items.
