Methods in Historical Corpus Pragmatics
Based on an extensive corpus-based study, this revealing book explores how epistemic stance is expressed in the early modern period, and in doing so, presents new methodologies for using corpora to investigate issues in historical pragmatics. It provides a new, corpus-driven method for the analysis of pragmatic functions that rely on context-dependent interpretations. By retrieving passages that include a high-density of the pragmatic function under investigation, the subsequent analysis can reveal previously neglected forms and context-dependent factors. It includes four empirical studies that apply the method to the analysis of epistemic stance in four Early Modern English corpora, the result of which emphasise the importance of context for the expression of stance. It also includes an appendix with inventories of Early Modern English stance expressions, offering starting points for further research studies. It is essential reading for researchers and students in historical pragmatics and corpus pragmatics.
Strategic Communication and its Role in Conflict News
Marc Jungblut extends existing knowledge on the role of strategic communication in conflict news by examining four violent conflicts. He relies on an automated content analysis of texts by 52 strategic communicators, such as politicians, NGOs, social movements, as well as on the international news coverage in 17 media outlets. By analyzing over 80,000 texts in seven languages, the book demonstrates that media visibility is almost exclusively granted based on ethnocentrism and elite status. The journalistic framing of conflict events, however, is much more context-dependent and shows a higher degree of independence from elite voices and strategic communication in general.

Democracy, Theatre and Performance
David Wiles makes the startling claim that, to be truly effective, democratic politicians are obliged to be hypocrites, or actors.
Analytical Journalism
Responding to an increasingly complex and often contradictory barrage of news information, Analytical Journalism offers a first-of-its-kind guide to this emerging form of science-based journalism. Posited as a practical alternative to other more traditional forms of event-driven news reporting, analytical journalism relies on metatheory and methodology to highlight causal factors such as goals, norms, behaviours and social frameworks when covering events. Seen as adjacent to investigative and data journalism, analytical journalism seeks to provide a solution to the simplification and under-reporting of the causal context by drawing on scientific research and data to offer a deeper understand...
Economic News, Sentiment, and Behavior
This book explores the relations between objective, media-related, and social attitudinal as well as behavioral realities of private, expert, and corporate agents in the traditions of mass communication, journalism studies and behavioral economics. Results based on time series analyses for German data show that the news reports in a volatile manner on the economy and may influence its development through third-person effects. Bad economic news does not cause a decrease in private purchase intentions. Bad news may lead to a change in corporate decisions, such as advertising expenditures, because corporate decision makers may presume changes in consumer behavior through news.
Von Lichtgestalten und Dunkelmännern
Wie die Medien über Gewalt berichten, hängt vielfach davon ab, was hohe Auflagen und Quoten verspricht. Dieses Buch zeigt die dramatischen Folgen für Verbrechensopfer und Tatverdächtige und die Wirkung der Berichterstattung auf Justiz, Öffentlichkeit und Politik. Prominente Medienschaffende und Experten aus Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft diskutieren kontrovers, ob die Medien als Pranger dienen sollen, wie emotional die mediale Inszenierung von Gewalt sein darf und wie journalistische Verantwortung gegenüber den Betroffenen und der Gesellschaft wahrzunehmen ist. „Dieses Buch ist ein unentbehrlicher Orientierungshelfer für alle an der Berichterstattung beteiligten Parteien: für Justiz und Polizei, für die Politik und auch die Medien selbst.“ Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, Bundesministerin der Justiz
