Abstract:

The updated and revised edition of this volume maintains its focus on the
dialectic interrelation between ‘news’ and ‘change’. News is intended as a
textual type in its evolutionary – and revolutionary – development, while
change is discussed with reference to the form, content and structure of news
texts. The news texts in question range from the first forms of periodical
news in the seventeenth century up to the news blogs and social media of the
present day.

Divided into four chapters, representing key historical moments in the process
of news writing, each chapter makes use of a set of corpora specifically
designed to suit the needs of scholars working in those particular fields.
Topics that the authors examine include pronominal usage and the
interrelationship between news writer and reader, heads and headlines, the
language of advertisements and other text classes, the trend towards
conversationalization, and impartiality and ‘perspective’ in modern-day news. 

These and other topics, coupled with the varying corpora that are exploited to
analyse them, call into question basic methodological issues that are examined
from different perspectives. Throughout the volume, the authors contextualise
the news publications of the day so as to better understand the continuous
process of adjustment and renewal that news texts are subject to over time.
