Data Journalism and the Regeneration of News traces the emergence
of data journalism through a scholarly lens. It reveals the growth
of data journalism as a subspecialty, cultivated and sustained by
an increasing number of professional identities, tools and
technologies, educational opportunities and new forms of
collaboration and computational thinking. The authors base their
analysis on five years of in-depth field research, largely in
Canada, an example of a mature media system. The book identifies
how data journalism's development is partly due to it being at the
center of multiple crises and shocks to journalism, including
digitalization, acute mis- and dis-information concerns and
increasingly participatory audiences. It highlights how data
journalists, particularly in well-resourced newsrooms, are able to
address issues of trust and credibility to advance their
professional interests. These journalists are operating as
institutional entrepreneurs in a field still responding to the
disruption effects of digitalization more than 20 years ago. By
exploring the ways in which data journalists are strategically
working to modernize the way journalists talk about methods and
maintain journalism authority, Data Journalism and the Regeneration
of News introduces an important new dimension to the study of
digital journalism for researchers, students and educators.

The second edition of this highly regarded textbook is designed to
introduce students at the tertiary level to both Systemic
Functional Linguistics and Critical Discourse Analysis. It develops
critical analytical skills by rooting analysis in SFL methodology
so that students can learn to analyze a range of discourse types.
Each chapter builds a methodological foundation for the development
of critical discourse analytical skills. SFL provides novice
analysts with a rich set of resources for CDA and equips them to
better reflect on what language is doing and why. The Power of
Language offers explanations along with a range of sample analyses
to illustrate theory and provide applications of the methodologies
introduced in each chapter. Students not only learn by studying a
number of analyses but carry out their own analytical work on other
samples, thus gaining experience. Each chapter also includes
examples of analyses by well know researchers so that novice
analysts become familiar with various approaches to analysis.This
new edition has been thoroughly updated throughout and features an
expanded first chapter on language and international conflict, a
new second chapter focusing on language and political fear, an
expanded chapter on multimodal communication and an entirely new
chapter on language and social media. Other chapters have been
updated with new sample analyses and activities.

No one could mistake seventeen-year-old Rachel Barkley for a
southern belle. She was, after all, raised in the North on the edge
of the untamed western frontier. But one might say that her
birthplace suited her well. An extended visit to a relative's
Mississippi plantation a few months before the start of the Civil
War opened up a whole different world to Rachel and her sister,
Emily. And it exposed Rachel's southern acquaintances to a
different kind of girl, sometimes to their amusement, and sometimes
to their dismay. In Mississippi, Rachel met the wealthy Randolph
family - Mr. & Mrs. Randolph, Luke, Charles, and daughter,
Amanda, adopted under somewhat mysterious circumstances. Rachel's
life became more intertwined with the Randolphs than she could ever
have imagined or her cousin, Lucy, might have wished. There, also,
Rachel was presented with a tempting opportunity that promised a
way to fulfill her unconventional dreams and ambitions - but at
what cost? (This book includes a list of sources used in
researching the Civil War period.)
A young, independent woman enters a strange world with the
intention of relaxing for a couple of weeks before making a quick
profit and leaving. She is surreptitiously seduced into accepting
her bizare environment which has been brooding for over five
hundred years. Exploring all possibilities which occur at alarming
speed, her perception finally transcends the norm and she begins to
accept the impossible. Tilda learns how to do magic incorporating a
natural acumen that she has always had but, until now, has never
thought significant. She finds 'treasure', spiritual, physical and
traditional within her grasp, but is persued by those who want what
she has inherited. Tilda has allies, the neighbour that aided her
late Aunt, a flamboyant friend whom she cannot 'read' the way she
can most people, and even an unlikely Grandfather who attempts to
protect her from what he calls 'unsavoury practices', not all of
whom are quite what they seem Rumours of murder, arson and the
manipulation of others by onorthodox and mysterious means manifest
themselves. This is a tale involving witchcraft, fear, love, comedy
and premature death culminating in sheer horror which appears to
precipitate an end to strife. A tale for those who can suspend
belief and do not demand a 'happy ever after' finale, for life does
not end when one achieves one's heart's desire

Expository Discourse describes the social science research genre in
an entirely original light. The authors present a comprehensive
model which characterizes the generic, registerial and discoursal
options as they interweave within a text, formulating explicit
realization statements that relate the abstract categories of move
and act (as described by Swales) to the way these units actually
are created by lexical and grammatical choices. The realization
networks draw on the work of systemic functional linguists,
primarily Halliday, Hasan, Martin, and Ventola.
This collection of papers, with their focus on social change in
different settings and through a wide range of voices, offers a
fresh view of both Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) and
Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), and, ultimately, the
relationship between the two. In the Theoretical Section, the
authors explore ways to study social, political, and economic
transformations; in the Applied Section, the authors examine the
effects of social change on national and institutional identities.
In each of these papers, the examination of the 'social' is in
addition to, but not in place of, thorough linguistic analyses of
discursive events. connections between SFL and CDA - two approaches
to the study of language. This volume is the first to make explicit
this connection so that novices as well as experienced researchers
examining the two fields under one microscope can more fully
understand how they are related and how CDA can draw on analytical
tools rooted in SFL. The book has several aims: to extend the
connections between SFL and CDA; to provide analyses of social
change that are rooted in linguistic theory and methodology,
specifically SFL which provides a solid analytical foundation that
helps researchers avoid ideological bias; to critically analyse
discursive material that includes, but is not limited to, media;
and finally to offer a broad range of international perspectives on
the role of discourse in changing social practices and patterns.

How do journalists know what they know? Who gets to decide what
good journalism is and when it's done right? What sort of expertise
do journalists have, and what role should and do they play in
society? Until a couple of decades ago, journalists rarely asked
these questions, largely because the answers were generally
undisputed. Now, the stakes are rising for journalists as they face
real-time critique and audience pushback for their ethics, news
reporting, and relevance. Yet the crises facing journalism have
been narrowly defined as the result of disruption by new
technologies and economic decline. This book argues that the
concerns are in fact much more profound. Drawing on their five
years of research with journalists in the U.S. and Canada, in a
variety of news organizations from startups and freelancers to
mainstream media, the authors find a digital reckoning taking place
regarding journalism's founding ideals and methods. The book
explores journalism's long-standing representational harms, arguing
that despite thoughtful explorations of the role of publics in
journalism, the profession hasn't adequately addressed matters of
gender, race, intersectionality, and settler colonialism. In doing
so, the authors rethink the basis for what journalism says it could
and should do, suggesting that a turn to strong objectivity and
systems journalism provides a path forward. They offer insights
from journalists' own experiences and efforts at repair, reform,
and transformation to consider how journalism can address its
limits and possibilities along with widening media publics.
This volume provides a detailed an explicit account of the genre of
social science research articles. While previous literature has
analysed some aspects of the research genre separately, this book
presents a comprehensive model which characterizes the generic,
registerial and discoursal options as they interweave within a
text. Another important contribution of the analysis is the
formulation of explicit realization statements that relate the
abstract categories of move and act (as described by Swales) to the
way these units are actually created by lexical and grammatical
choices. The realization networks draw on the work of systemic
functional linguistics, primarily Halliday, Hasan, Martin and
Ventola. The added emphasis in this study is that research texts
are ultimately persuasive texts, and genre 'constraints' can be
tightened or loosened in response to the rhetorical dimension. The
description of the social science research genre is important both
for those teaching English to speakers and readers of other
languages and for researchers in discourse structure. For teachers,
the detailed analysis of texts and the method for determining
realization rules will help in guiding students who must understand
and produce research articles. For researchers, the qualitative and
quantitative analyses show how the different levels of abstraction,
from the genre itself to its moves, acts and wordings, are related
to each other. Lastly, this analysis can serve as a model for
future descriptions of other academic and professional genres.
