Employing the appraisal framework in discovering the way ideology is crystalized through discourse, the present study attempts to investigate how journalistic ideologies and political positions are manifested through attitudinal terms. Referring to White’s (2012) distinction of attitude types, inscribed vs. invoked, based on Martin and White’s (2005) appraisal theory, journalistic ideology toge...

al diffusion of political ideas, ideologies, and practices, there has still been relatively little exploration of the extent to which debates in national news media about similar social problems have come to resemble one another, as well as the causes for such convergence or lack thereof. Some studies provide evidence of gradual, if uneven, convergence in certain journalistic practices and aspe...

The paper develops a pilot study aiming at finding a methodology for identifying features of journalistic writing profiles. The study is based on capturing dominant discursive tonalities, knowing that journalistic discourse entails public legitimacy. We made use of a series of natural language processing tools as preliminary steps in revealing three egocentric journalistic identities. Based on ...

Ethical decision making is increasingly emphasized in daily media practice. The pervasive reportage of disaster is a ready context to analyze journalistic ethical orientations. This study examines several classic approaches and their applications in covering disaster, in order to develop a comprehensive ethical framework (an ethical coordinate) for researchers to examine journalistic ethical or...

In this paper we argue that the journalistic metaphor can be effectively used to automatically generate multimedia presentations that help non-expert users analyze and understand sensor data. The journalistic layout and style are familiar to most users. Furthermore,...
