The contrastive analysis of two sets of newspaper articles has been carried out in order to observe how the reports of the same events are constructed in two different languages and cultures as represented by El País and The Guardian newspapers. The first set of texts consists of two science popularization articles dealing with the same scientific finding (Bee Texts), whereas the second set consists of all the articles covering the opening day of a world summit held in Rome (Summit Texts) which were published in the online versions of El País and The Guardian respectively. Newsworthiness (Bell, 1991), attribution and lexicogrammatical strategies have been studied in order to show how ideological construction has been developed in these two different kinds of report, one dealing with a non-controversial event (as represented in the Bee Texts) and the other with a controversial event (as represented in the Summit Texts).

Drawing on selected approaches from pragmatics, functional linguistics, discourse space theories and evaluation theories, this article proposes a methodological framework for the study of science journalism. It presents the institutional context of science journalism, which is considered a hybrid discourse, as it combines features of science communication and of market-driven journalism, particularly the need for the coverage to meet the criteria of newsworthiness. To enable the study of how science journalists tend to engage the readers linguistically without foregoing the appearances of credibility, the article demonstrates the analytic potential of such pragmalinguistic categories as illocutionary force, reference and positioning, agency and stance, proximization and alignment, as well as emotivity and evaluation. Finally, the article illustrates the applicability of the above categories in a qualitative analysis of a special corpus of “most-read” medicine and biotechnology reports published in the online version of the popular international science magazine New Scientist. The analysis shows how to combine these categories in a productive way in order to develop a methodologically viable and theoretically grounded approach to doing (critical) discourse analysis of science journalism.

This study offers a critical evaluation of news values by four selected contemporary media outlets: BBC News, The Federalist, OneEurope and Dagbladet. The material covers the controversy around the Norwegian Child Welfare Service with cases of children being taken away from their families, thus it involves cultural and legal aspects of the issue. The analytic categories are based on news value research guidelines that were introduced in the study by Johan Galtung and Mari H. Ruge (1965). In parallel, the philosophical reference is construed through the works by Artur Schopenhauer and Anton Powell. This, in turn, allows evaluating the language that construes newsworthiness from an eristic perspective. The study demonstrates how the eristic application of news values may influence the fair presentation of an issue, at least when a case is presented as involving a controversy. The focus is on the eristic tools of news value enhancement which lead to channeling consumers’ attention in a desirable manner.

Niniejsze studium dotyczy analizy wartości informacji na podstawie czterech wybranych współczesnych kanałów masowego przekazu: BBC News, The Federalist, OneEurope i Dagbladet w odniesieniu do kontrowersji wokół norweskiej organizacji Ochrony Praw Dziecka (norw. Barnevernet), w tym przypadków rodzin, którym odebrano prawa rodzicielskie. W związku z tym na problematykę pracy składają się również kulturowe i prawne aspekty raportowanego zjawiska. Kategorie analityczne zostały opracowane w oparciu o listę wartości informacyjnych autorstwa Johana Galtunga i Mari H. Ruge (1965). Z perspektywy filozoficznej, analiza pracy opiera się na dorobku Artura Schopenhauera i Antona Powella. Wyżej wspomniana metodologia pozwoliła na analizę językowych czynników składających się na jakość przekazu z erystycznego punktu widzenia. Analiza wykazała, że stosowanie chwytów erystycznych w obszarze kryteriów wartości informacyjnej może zaburzyć dostarczenie autentycznego obrazu rzeczywistości, szczególnie w tak delikatnym i kontrowersyjnym temacie. Studium koncentruje się na erystyce językowych narzędzi kierowania uwagi odbiorcy w pożądanym kierunku.
