This document discusses the use of political language and discourse in media contexts to assert power. It analyzes an article from a New Zealand magazine that uses various political strategies such as coercion, resistance, opposition, and dissimulation to paint midwives in a negative light and doctors in a positive one. The article employs tactics like using the parents' occupations to legitimize its position and highlighting one situation to delegitimize the overall national context of midwifery. The document concludes that this article actively uses political discourse and demonstrates how such strategies can effectively persuade or dissuade readers.
