Abstract

This discourse analysis aimed to investigate how language is used in news broadcast through the use of Fairclough’s three dimensional model. Data revealed on its textual level that news broadcast, like any form of discourse, also used positive adjectives, negative adjectives and disjunctive syntax. Various strategies were employed by the producers of the news in order to realize its communicative end. News media carries an important place in people in the society. The style of news reporting can be an essential tool for understanding the discourse and how it affects to wide, various and diversified audience. Therefore, it becomes necessary for the media groups in the society to make themselves accountable by acting upon the already existing internal legal framework.
