The Discourse of News Values de Monika Bednarek

The Discourse of News Values: How News Organizations Create Newsworthiness

Monika Bednarek

Helen Caple

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.

Recenzii

Overall, this book breaks new ground and makes an original contribution to the field by offering (a) a new theoretical approach to the study of discursive construction of news values, (b) a comprehensive analytical framework for linguistic and visual analysis of news values, and (c) a range of corpus techniques and tools that can generate well-grounded findings. The approach and findings also bear pedagogical implications by informing the teaching and learning of journalistic semiotic practices. Hence, this well-organized and clearly written monograph is recommended for both emerging and established researchers who are engaged in discourse analysis, multimodal analysis, and corpus linguistics, as well as for journalism educators.
