APPLICATION
Activity. Read the following paragraph and answer the questions
that follow.
The book is a valuable resource as it provides interesting
theoretical and methodological means for analyzing news discourse.
For instance, analyzing the combination of images and texts allows
greater understanding of values encoded in the news. In addition, the
book adequately discusses means for addressing methodological
problems in analyzing data in different forms of media. Moreover,
since the book draws on different perspectives, readers will find a
range of options to work with when confronting with their own data.
To illustrate, news may not only be seen on the national/international
scene but also in specific locales. Therefore, this can help in making
sense of one’s data through adequate examples.
The book is intended as a suitable introduction for graduate

students and researchers interested in exploring the complexities of
news discourse, as it provides input, a list of readings and additional
activities for research. It also integrates several theoretical and
methodological perspectives, giving readers a free hand on deciding
which approach to employ in analyzing their own data. Overall, this
book, which is part of the continuum series of books covering areas
of discourse, is a valuable contribution for the enrichment of
scholarship concerning news discourse (Valdez, 2014).
