Mediated Discourse as Social Interaction makes an explicit link
between media studies and social interactionalist discursive
research where previously the two fields of study have been treated
as separate disciplines. This text presents an integrated theory
illustrated by ample concrete examples, bringing together the
latest research in these two fields. It offers a critique to the
sender-receiver model implicit in media studies, and argues for an
analysis of media discourse as social interaction, on the one hand
among journalists and newsmakers as a community of practice, and
among readers and viewers as a spectating community of practice on
the other. The book also argues for a coherent and interdiscursive
methodology for the ethnographic study of the role of the news
media in the social construction of identity and is based on a
considerable body of ethnographic and textual analysis of both
print and television news media. The theory of mediated discourse
presented in this volume will be of great interest to advanced
undergraduates and postgraduates studying media studies, sociology
of language, discourse analysis, interactional sociolinguistics,
ethnography of communication and applied linguistics. It will also
be welcomed by scholars and professionals involved in research in
these areas.
