Annotation

This book analyzes racial discrimination in the British Press during the 1980s, using concepts from discourse analysis, pragmatics and cognitive psychology. The elaboration of a prototypical news schema, revealing the influence of strategies of relevance and importance, enables to ascertain the ideological manipulation behind ethnic news reporting.
