O knihe

This study aimed to explore the situation often referred to as the 'Arab spring' that prevailed in the Arab world after 2010-2011 by analyzing CNN and AJE's online news articles released in their websites 2013. The main concern of the study is to unveil the two well-known agencies' ideologies in relation to the Arab spring upheaval and to discover how their media discourse has been manipulated to control people's minds with respect to countries involved in the Arab spring, namely, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Syria. This goal was achieved by using a combination of the following theories: 1) van Dijk's theory of Semantic Macrostructure (1980) to examine macro and micro structures of CNN and AJE's online news articles, 2) van Dijk's theory of Ideological Square (1998c) to examine CNN and AJE's ideologies embedded within their online news articles and 3) Wodak's Discourse- Historical Approach to endorse linguistic and ideological analysis of CNN and AJE's online news articles.
