Annotation

This paper examines to what extent the most objective ‘reporter voice’, as discerned by Martin and White (2005) in English hard-news reporting, is also present in Italian reporting. Similarities and dissimilarities in reporting styles are considered and reference is made to possible underlying social and cultural variables.
