Abstract:

This book is available as open access through the Bloomsbury Open Access
programme and is available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by
the Swiss National Science Foundation.

This book demonstrates the central role played by the stylistic features of
online news in constructing meaning and shaping cultural representations of
people and places – in particular, France and Muslims/Islam. Taking the 2016
violent attack in Nice, France as a case study, Ashley Riggs analyses online
news coverage of the attack from the UK, Spain, and Switzerland, three
distinct linguistic and cultural spaces. An innovative mixed-methods approach,
including content analysis and elements of translation criticism and
comparative stylistics, is used to analyse this corpus, revealing the
frequency and influence of stylistic devices found in online news and
exploring how they help to shape reader interpretations.

Drawing conclusions about journalistic practices by place and interrogating
the notions of 'European identity' and 'European journalism', "Stylistic
Deceptions in Online News" reveals how stylistic features may vary according
to both political leanings and national and regional contexts, and the
influence these features have upon readers.
