Call for Papers for Edited Volume

Exploring the Intersections of Rhetoric and Mass Media Discourse

With the purpose of evaluating, exploring, and focusing on the role of 
media discourse in evoking social, cultural, and/or ideological 
viewpoints, we are creating an edited volume that explores the 
intersections of rhetoric and mass media discourse. We invite 
contributors who are doing research on media discourse to participate 
in this volume. Papers dealing with the analysis of either theoretical or 
practical-applications based rhetoric and linguistics in a wide-range of 
media discourses (e.g., the press, television discourse, internet 
discourse, radio discourse, etc.,) are welcome. Some possible topics 
include:

1. Rhetorical Features of Politics-based Articles in Newspapers in the 
United States and Abroad
2. The Use of Rhetorical Devices, such as Humor, Figurative 
Language, or other Forms of Implied Meaning in Mass Media
3. The History of Media Discourse 
4. The Stylistics of News Reporting
5. Propagandist Rhetoric in Journalism
6. Style and Register in Internet Discourse
7. Rhetorical and Discursive Devices in the Reporting of Campaigns 
and Political Speeches/Debates
8. The Use of Figurative Language in the Media
9. Stylistic and Pragmatic Devices in the Reporting of Conflict (e.g., 
war, protests, international conflicts, etc.)
10. Language Use in the Representation of a Political or Economic 
Crisis
11. The Rhetoric and Linguistics of Political Blogs and Social Media
12. Stylistic and Discursive Choices in the Reporting of Crime and 
Violence
13. The Reporting of Medical/Health Campaigns and News
14. Language Use and Ideology in Mass Media
15. Gender-sensitive Discourse in the Media
16. A Critical Discourse Analysis of Media Interviews and/or News 
Reports

Organize Groups and Political/Social Agendas
