Employing a variety of tools and methods - from multimodality to pragmatics, from close reading to computational stylistics - Morini looks at nine different  journalistic worlds  and their respective  Newsspeaks . The results are often revealing: by providing its readers with an accurate idea of the universe projected by each paper, this study revises many received ideas on the clear-cut boundaries separating  popular  from  highbrow  journalism.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the process, \u003ci\u003eA Day in the News \u003c\/i\u003ealso sums up more than three decades of work on the language of newspapers, and provides a general analytical method for journalism in the digital age. The three chapters of the book focus, respectively, on the multimodal features of newspapers and their e-editions; on the quantitative prominence accorded to certain wordings and topics in each newspaper; and on the ideological\/evaluative slant with which news items are presented and commented. Throughout, the focus is not on some outmoded notion of journalistic style, but on the degrees of proximity or distance presupposed by different formats, layouts and linguistic registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Maurizio Gotti,Massimiliano Morini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3034335075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783034335072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic P\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/20\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Maurizio Gotti","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48446062788863,"sku":"9783034335072","price":71.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d99dc07d-5e94-45f9-ac68-3ce3d5d44a7f.jpg?v=1777222384","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-day-in-the-news-maurizio-gotti-9783034335072","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
