News discourse

News discourse refers to the way news stories are communicated through language. It involves the choices reporters and news outlets make in presenting facts, framing events, and crafting narratives to inform, persuade, or shape public perception. This discourse encompasses the selection of words, tone, emphasis, and structure used in articles, broadcasts, and reports. Understanding news discourse helps us recognize how information is constructed, how biases may influence reporting, and how language affects our interpretation of current events. It’s a key aspect of media literacy that encourages critical engagement with news sources.
