 News discourse is a rich
area in language studies that
has attracted attention
among scholars both old and
new.
 Departing from merely
examining printed texts, the
present era of globalized
technology poses serious
challenges for the analysis of
news discourse, given that
producers of news employ
different modalities to deliver
their message.
 In addition , the growing
mobilities of individuals
(geographical, virtual and social)
raise interesting questions on
the suitable frameworks
available for researchers to fully
understanding different aspects
of news discourse.
Given the present
scenario, this book
elucidates the
challenges in
studying news
discourse.
 Presented in nine chapters,
the book conveniently deals
with specific aspects of the
topic, giving readers a
manageable resource for
study
 Chapter 1 overviews the book,
satrting with definitions of news
discourse, then outlining the
different approaches
(sociolinguistics, corpus
linguistic, critical discourse
analytic, to name a few) and
methods of collecting data.
 Included in this section is
the importance of studying
discourse, which may spark
interest among beginning
scholars and readers
unfamiliar with the area.
