An extract from the publisher states:
The Discourse of News Values breaks new ground in news media research in offering the first book-length treatment of the construction of newsworthiness through words and images. With an interdisciplinary and multi-methodological approach, it brings together corpus linguistics and multimodal discourse analysis in new empirical studies of the news media.
This is a stimulating and unique book for all researchers in linguistics, semiotics, and media/journalism studies who are interested in discourse analytical approaches to the news media.
