Abstract

The win of Donald Trump in the 45th Presidential American Elections has perverted the World’s political views. This study focuses on the analysis of News Discourse presented in the reporting of Donald Trump’s victory by the two Pakistani News channels-PTV and Geo News. The study employs Bednarek and Caple’s (2017) Discursive News Values Analysis (DNVA) which investigates how news values are constructed through linguistic devices; therefore, empowering judgments into shared news and adding linguistic focus to the news studies. Results reveal the use of news values such as Consonance, Eliteness, Impact, Negativity/Positivity, Personalization, Proximity, Superlatives, Timeliness, and Unexpectedness in the data sets; residing with variation in the ‘preferred’ norms specific to the organization. Moreover, the results highlighted the larger contribution of Consonance, Eliteness, Negativity, Proximity, and Superlatives in comparison with other ones. The findings also reveal Positivity in news discourse, while the impact of the event seemed to be highlighted.

特朗普胜选报道的新闻价值:巴基斯坦新闻频道新闻价值的语言分析

唐纳德·特朗普在第45届美国总统选举中获胜，扭曲了世界的政治观点。本研究着重分析巴基斯坦两个新闻频道ptv和Geo News在报道唐纳德·特朗普获胜时所呈现的新闻话语。本研究采用了Bednarek和capple(2017)的话语新闻价值分析(DNVA)，该分析研究了新闻价值是如何通过语言手段构建的;因此，将判断赋予共享新闻，增加新闻研究的语言关注点。结果揭示了在数据集中使用新闻值，如一致性、精英性、影响、消极/积极、个性化、接近性、最高级、及时性和意外性;在特定于组织的“首选”规范中存在变化。此外，研究结果还强调了辅音、精英、消极性、接近性和最高级的贡献大于其他因素。研究结果还揭示了新闻话语的积极性，而事件的影响似乎被突出了。
