Annotation
This paper examines news discourse (as process and product) along with hard news reporting genre and styles, and the dialectics between universal and culture-bound journalistic norms, with a focus on “proximization strategies”. Examples stem from local and international news coverage of Kenya's 2007–2008 post-election violence.
