How to investigate newswriting – and why

What is it about?

"The Linguistics of Newswriting" addresses three questions: 1) What methods, theories, and disciplines lend themselves to the investigation of news production? 2) What are the results of such investigations, and what are the limitations of those results? 3) How can existing and future results be documented, disseminated, and used to support practitioners in the newsroom?

Why is it important?

"The Linguistics of Newswriting" aims to be sustainable: Unlike the results of most empirical research, its methodological and theoretical input is unlikely to become outdated quickly. Grounded in large data corpora, the research presented in the book reveals formerly hidden backstage processes of newswriting. In doing so, it shows the relevance of language practices in global newsflows.
