Description

The Language of the News offers a comprehensive exploration of how newspapers use language to shape meaning and influence readers. This Routledge text introduces critical linguistics as a practical analytical tool, drawing on contemporary examples from UK, USA and Australian newspapers to reveal the conventions beneath everyday news reporting. The book examines key themes including gender representation, national identity construction, and racial discourse, whilst analysing how journalists employ language to build audiences, persuade readers, and occasionally parody events. It also explores ongoing debates within the newspaper industry itself regarding linguistic sensitivity, political correctness, and the ethical implications of word choice in journalism. Ideal for students seeking to understand media literacy and the hidden structures of news communication, this resource equips readers with frameworks to critically evaluate the language shaping public discourse and perception across international news platforms.
