Language and JournalismAuthor(s): John Richardson\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9780415629331, 978-0415629331\nSynopsis\nThis book is an indispensable \""cutting edge\"" book for students and researchers of journalism studies seeking a text that illustrates and applies a range of linguistic and discourse-analytic approaches to the analysis of journalism. While the form, function and politics of the language of journalism have attracted scholars from a wide range of academic disciplines, too often this analysis has reduced the work of journalists to text-characteristics alone. In contrast, this collection is united by the principle that journalistic discourse is always socially situated and the result of a series of processes produced by journalists in accordance with particular production techniques and in specific institutional settings and as such, analysis requires more than the methods offered by linguists.\n.
