What is it about?
This is a review of Multimodal News Analysis across Cultures (2020). The reviewed book is one of the latest achievements in discursive news value studies. By applying corpus linguistics and multimodal discourse analysis to the analysis of news values in China’s and Australia’s national day news coverage, this book offers a new lens for exploring the discursively constructed news values.
