23 July 2005Redeker & Klok2 Overview Public vs Commercial Broadcasters’ News Corpus: Internet News Bulletins Appraisal Analysis Results Preliminary Conclusions Questions and Problems

23 July 2005Redeker & Klok3 Public and Commercial News Broadcasts Dutch public broadcaster NOS –Mission: information, inspiration, entertainment –TV news: NOS Journaal –Internet news: Dutch commercial broadcaster RTL4 –Mission: easy entertainment –TV news: RTL4 Nieuws –Internet news:

23 July 2005Redeker & Klok4 Corpus of Internet News Bulletins 30 topic-matched pairs of texts (NOS, RTL4) collected on six days between 29 Sept – 6 Oct 2004 (excluding the weekend) Topics: national and international political news, some human interest items Number of words: minmaxmediantotal NOS RTL

23 July 2005Redeker & Klok5 Text Lengths per Category (# words) CategoryNOSRTL4difference National political news International political news Human interest

23 July 2005Redeker & Klok6 Appraisal Analysis: Attitude Affect: emotional positioning Judgement: ethical positioning –explicit, provoked, evoked Appreciation: esthetic positioning Based on Iedema et al (1994), White (1998), and Martin & Rose (2003) Added: source of attitude (not only for affect)

23 July 2005Redeker & Klok7 Appraisal Analysis: Engagement Monogloss –Facts, author’s interpretations, presuppositions Dialogic Contraction –Disclaim: Denial, Counter –Proclaim: Pronounce, Concur, Endorse Dialogic Expansion –Entertain –Attribute: Acknowledge, Distance –Report (our addition)

23 July 2005Redeker & Klok8 Appraisal Analysis: Graduation Force –Intensity –Quantity (amount, time, space) –Enhancement Focus –Valeur (sharpening/softening of category boundaries) –Fulfilment (qualification of processes)

23 July 2005Redeker & Klok9 Quantitative Results: Attitudes

23 July 2005Redeker & Klok10 Quantitative Results: Engagement

23 July 2005Redeker & Klok11 Engagement: Dialogic Expansion

23 July 2005Redeker & Klok12 Quantitative Results: Graduation

23 July 2005Redeker & Klok13 Preliminary Conclusions Compared to RTL4 Internet bulletins, NOS news bulletins: –give more background (explanations, reactions, past and related events) for political news items; –contain more Attitudes, esp. a very high number of negative Judgements; –give more quoted or reported statements (Acknowledge); –contain more Graduation, esp. intensifiers, attitude-strengthening quantifications, and focus softeners.

23 July 2005Redeker & Klok14 Problems and Questions Text-level quantitative analysis ignores differences in length and content –Classification of sentences (main news, background, etc.) –Sentence-level comparisons (to correlate codings) How to deal with quoted discourse? –Our analysis includes Attitudes in discourse from other sources (and codes them as Acknowledge, Distance, or Report), but does not analyse the textual function of attributed material (e.g. Denial, Counter) When to code Graduation? –Force: Quantity was only coded when it induced an attitudinal stance
