Examining the news coverage of the economic crisis in Greece, this
book develops a framework for identifying discourses of
legitimation of actors, political decisions, and policies in the
news. This study departs from the assumption that news is a
privileged terrain where discursive struggles (over power) are
represented and take place. Incorporating systematic analysis of
news texts and journalistic practices, the model contextualises the
analysis in its specific socio-political environment and examines
legitimising discourse through the prism of the news. Ultimately
the book recognises the active role played by journalists and media
in legitimating economic crisis related policies and decisions, and
how they help dominant actors establish and legitimate their
authority, which in turn helps journalists legitimate their own
role and authority. A concise, focused book that applies a strong
theoretical and methodological framework, Discourse of Legitimation
in the News is a strong contribution to the field for researchers
and postgraduate students.
