"This book develops a corpus-assisted approach to the study of self-reflexivity in journalism and examines the ways in which news workers and subsequently, news organizations, choose to promote an identity for themselves and the ideologies that accompany them. Using The Guardian as a case study, the volume draws on its Corpus Assisted Discourse Studies (CADS) approach to explore how newspapers conceptualize the role of the media, good vs. bad journalism, professional values, community membership amongst their readers, and identity construction, both themselves as newspapers but also their position within the larger community. A chapter on the book's methodological framework reflects on critical aspects of CADS, including triangulation, objectivity and subjectivity, total accountability, and replicability, which are further drawn out in the analysis chapters, with a summarizing chapter tying these strands together to make the case for a CADS approach to journalism and media studies and look to the future, as the digital age has shaped the journalism landscape. With its interest in extending a CADS approach to other aspects of journalism scholarship, this volume is key reading for graduate students and researchers in corpus linguistics, discourse analysis, media studies, and journalism studies"-- Provided by publisher.
