This document discusses issues and challenges in using discourse analysis to analyze news media content. It defines discourse analysis and outlines three key frameworks: Foucault's system of representation, van Dijk's socio-cognitive approach, and Fairclough's critical discourse analysis. It critiques these frameworks and suggests they neglect factors like the origins of competing discourses, external influences on media, and audience reception. The document advocates a comprehensive approach analyzing media texts, their production processes, and how meanings circulate and are reproduced through audiences.
Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is an interdisciplinary approach to the study of discourse that views language as a form of social practice. Scholars working in the tradition of CDA generally assume that (non-linguistic) social practice and linguistic practice constitute one another and focus on investigating how societal power relations are established and reinforced through language use

Often when we say research, we think of a phenomenon which we can explain and generalise to fit into a future context. Ethnography is one research which brings out the humanistic nature of research. Participant observation lets you observe the phenomenon as an observer or as a participant. Interesting read to know something we already know but might not be consciously aware.

Write a 3–5-page essay analyzing from a sociological perspective a chosen diversity issue covered in the media.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
SHOW LESS
Competency 1: Describe theoretical ideas of power in relation to policy.
Discuss how minority and dominant groups are portrayed in a media piece in relation to the influence of power.
Discuss sociological concepts or theories appropriate for understanding the portrayal of diversity in the media.
Competency 2: Identify historical and contemporary influences of discrimination in U. S. culture.
Summarize a media piece using the sociological perspective on diversity.
Competency 3: Analyze the effects of social policy using aggregated data.
Analyze data that are appropriate for supporting or refuting the central tenets of media piece.
Competency 6: Apply in text the standard writing conventions for the discipline, including structure, voice, person, tone, and citation formatting.
Write coherently to support a central idea in appropriate format and with few errors of grammar, usage, and mechanics.
How are different social groups portrayed in the mass media in contemporary society? How far have we come in terms of reducing or eliminating stereotypical images and portrayals of minority groups? To answer these questions, we need to place them in the context of the economic, technological, and social changes that have shaped postindustrial U.S. society and affected relationships between diverse groups in our society. For example, watching TV sitcoms and dramas today we see not only much greater diversity in cast members but also minority group members playing leading roles, something that was much less common just a few decades ago.
As you analyze how the various media forms portray cultural diversity, another thing to consider is the role of people with power in the media industry—those who make the decisions about what stories and images appear on a TV news program or magazine or newspaper article and how those programs or stories will be framed.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community. Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.

Some sociologists who study the media argue that the media is a reflection of what is already happening in society, while others contend that the media manipulates its audience by portraying events or issues with a particular slant or goal in mind. What do you think? Does the media reflect what is already going on in society, or.
Introduction
In life, there are universal laws that govern everything we do. These laws are so perfect that if you were to align yourself with them, you could have so much prosperity that it would be coming out of your ears. This is because God created the universe in the image and likeness of him. It is failure to follow the universal laws that causes one to fail. The laws that were created consisted of the following: ·
Law of Gratitude: The Law of Gratitude states that you must show gratitude for what you have. By having gratitude, you speed your growth and success faster than you normally would. This is because if you appreciate the things you have, even if they are small things, you are open to receiving more.
Law of Attraction: The Law of Attraction states that if you focus your attention on something long enough you will get it. It all starts in the mind. You think of something and when you think of it, you manifest that in your life. This could be a mental picture of a check or actual cash, but you think about it with an image.
Law of Karma: the Law of Karma states that if you go out and do something bad, it will come back to you with something bad. If you do well for others, good things happen to you. The principle here is to know you can create good or bad through your actions. There will always be an effect no matter what.
Law of Love: the Law of Love states that love is more than emotion or feeling; it is energy. It has substance and can be felt. Love is also considered acceptance of oneself or others. This means that no matter what you do in life if you do not approach or leave the situation out of love, it won't work.
Law of Allowing: The Law of Allowing states that for us to get what we want, we must be receptive to it. We can't merely say to the Universe that we want something if we don't allow ourselves to receive it. This will defeat our purpose for wanting it in the first place.
Law of Vibration: the Law of Vibration states that if you wish on something and use your thoughts to visualize it, you are halfway there to get it. To complete the cycle you must use the Law of Vibration to feel part of what you want. Do this and you'll have anything you want in life.
For everything to function properly there has to be structure. Without structure, our world, or universe, would be in utter chaos. Successful people understand universal laws and apply them daily. They may not acknowledge that to you, but they do follow the laws. There is a higher power and this higher power controls the universe and what we get out of it. People who know this, but wish to direct their own lives, follow the reasons. Successful people don't sit around and say "I'll try," they say yes and act on it.

2. Overview
• Defining discourse analysis
• Discourse and Power
• Three key discourse analytical frameworks
– Michel Foucault
– Teun A. van Dijk
– Norman Fairclough
• Flaws of existing frameworks for analysis of news
media texts
• Critique of suggested improvements
3. Defining Discourse Analysis
• Two main definitions
– As social action and interaction between human agents
– As social construction of reality that creates a
knowledge system; influences our social practice and
relations
• Effective qualitative supplement to quantitative
content analysis
• Considers link between media content and wider
sociopolitical framework
4. Discourse and Power
• Discourse linked to power and social
interests
• Language use and social practice framed by
institutions
– Institutions determine rules and and positions
of agents
5. Three Key Scholars
• Michel Foucault’s system of representation
• Teun van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach
• Norman Fairclough’s critical discourse
analysis
6. Foucault’s System of
Representation
• Discourse as system of representation
• Discourse – Knowledge – Power
• Discursive formation can sustain “regime of
truth”
• Subjects constructed through discourse
• Opposes Marxist theory of ideology
• Intertextuality and interdiscursivity
8. Van Dijk’s Socio-Cognitive
Approach
• Reducing textual info to fundamental themes
• On thematic level:
– Looks at overall description of text/ macrostructures
– Reduces complicated info to macro-propositions
• On schematic level:
– Analyse schematic structures that influence form of the
text
9. Van Dijk’s Socio-Cognitive
Approach
• Criticisms:
– Ignores intertextual relations
– Difficult to compare across large number of
texts
– Uncritical reproduction of power relations and
ideologies
10. Fairclough’s Critical Discourse
Analysis
• Discourses influence social relations and
knowledge systems through language
• Group together to form discursive order
• Discourse analysis = analysis of discursive event +
analysis of discursive order
• Three dimensions:
– Analysis of 1) language texts, 2) discourse practice, 3)
discursive events as instances of sociocultural practice
• Impt terms: Discourse practice, intertextuality
11. Fairclough’s Critical Discourse
Analysis
• Criticisms:
– Textual-oriented approach
– Over-ambitious methodical frame
– Questionable linkage between textual
description and interpretation
– Lack of understanding of human agency
12. Discourse Analysis for News
• Shaping presentation of media texts
– Professional ideology of journalists, news
organizations
– State and corporate pressures
– Ownership of media
– Profit motivation of news organization
13. Discourse Analysis for News
• Key considerations neglected in current
frameworks
– Origins of competing discourses
– Presence of divergent social accounts
– Influence of external factors
– Meaning of the text to different audiences
14. Discourse Analysis for News
• Other issues
– Accuracy of representations
– Views included/ excluded in a text
– Rhetoric of political stories
– Time-sensitivity
– Interaction between discourse and social
realities: Circulation of meaning
16. Suggested Improvements
• Pros
– Intertextual and contextual
– Time-sensitive
– Accounts for journalistic intervention
• Cons
– Neglects production processes of text and
audience reception
17. Suggested Improvements
• Greg Philo (2007), Glasgow University
Media Group
– Interviews and focus groups with journalists
and audiences
– E.g. Coverage of Israeli-Palestinian conflict in
the UK
18. Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
• Reports on killing of young Palestinian boy
Mohd Al-Durrah in Oct 2000
• Images of him and his father crouched
against wall widely shown
19. Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
• Israelis issued statement that boy’s death
was unintentional
• Israelis focused on “war on terror”: Israel as
threatened and “responding” to attacks
• Palestinians rejected this account
• Israeli view dominant in news
20. Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
• Influences on UK journalists
– Strong support in US for Israel
– Close political link between UK and US
– Well-organized lobbying and public relations
– Views of political and public figures
– Aim for balance: Sympathetic, acknowledge
boy killed by Israelis
21. Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
• Audience reception of messages
– Reproduced content and structure of news
progs
• Little reference to Palestinian viewpoint
– Reproduced structure and sequence of accounts
based on news reports
• Reorganized memories to give meaning to the event
22. Conclusion
• Need to analyze media texts against total
system
• Consider processes of production, content,
reception and circulation
• Comprehensive discourse analysis: Better
understanding of generation and
reproduction of social meanings through
news media
