This book demonstrates the central role played by the stylistic features of online news in constructing meaning and shaping cultural representations of people and places – in particular, France and Muslims/Islam. Taking the 2016 violent attack in Nice, France as a case study, Ashley Riggs analyses online news coverage of the attack from the UK, Spain, and Switzerland, three distinct linguistic and cultural spaces. An innovative mixed-methods approach, including content analysis and elements of translation criticism and comparative stylistics, is used to analyse this corpus, revealing the frequency and influence of stylistic devices found in online news and exploring how they help to shape reader interpretations. Drawing conclusions about journalistic practices by place and interrogating the notions of 'European identity' and 'European journalism', Stylistic Deceptions in Online News reveals how stylistic features may vary according to both political leanings and national and regional contexts, and the influence these features have upon readers. 2022-10-14T14:54:40Z 2022-10-14T14:54:40Z 2020 book ONIX_20221014_9781350114197_164 9781350114197 9781350114180 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/58833 eng application/pdf n/a 9781350114180.pdf Bloomsbury Academic Bloomsbury Academic 10.5040/9781350114203 10.5040/9781350114203 066d8288-86e4-4745-ad2c-4fa54a6b9b7b 9781350114197 9781350114180 Bloomsbury Academic 224 London open access
