Analyzing evaluation in broadcast news
Original language description
When delivering news to a mass audience, presenters of broadcast news are expected to preserve objectivity and avoid evaluating. Nevertheless, previous studies (e.g. Montgomery 2007) have shown that evaluation plays a significant role in certain parts of the broadcast. In my research, I focus on the following structural elements of TV news – headlines, news kernel, in which a news item is introduced, and live interview with the reporter/correspondent, who provides additional information. These sections are searched for instances of evaluation, which are later classified according to the framework developed by Bednarek and Caple (2012), and the attention is paid to linguistic resources (both lexical and grammatical) for expressing evaluation. The aim of this research is to examine functions of evaluation in news discourse and to assess the subjectivity of the selected material. In addition, the role of evaluation in constructing newsworthiness is debated.
