Sommario/riassunto

'The Discourse of News Values' breaks new ground in multimodal news discourse, offering a book-length treatment of the discursive analysis of news values and the construction of newsworthiness. The work explores how the news is "sold" (made newsworthy) to audiences through the semiotic resources of language and image, providing a new analytical framework which can be used by other researchers in their own subsequent studies.
