Abstract:
In recent years, journalistic practices have undergone a radical change due to
the increasing pressure of new digital media on the professional practice. The
ever-growing development of new technologies and the ceaseless fluctuation of
social practices have challenged some of the traditional genres found in these
professional contexts.
On the basis of these premises, this book investigates a particular genre
found in the context of TV newscasts. The genre under investigation is that of
news tickers (or crawlers), that is, the graphic elements that scroll at the
bottom of the screen during newscasts. The book introduces readers to this
under-researched genre through a year-long collection of the news tickers
displayed on BBC World News. Thanks to a corpus-based genre analysis, the
generic status of news tickers is better defined by highlighting the presence
of given strategies of marketization. Additionally, this volume investigates
if news tickers can be seen as a mixed (sub-)genre that interdiscursively
combines traditional linguistic elements of headlines and lead paragraphs to
achieve, from a (Critical) Genre Analysis point of view, a specific private
intention in the context of the BBC.
