(Craig, 2007) The seven traditions of communication are the following: rhetorical tradition, semiotic tradition, phenomenological tradition, cybernetic tradition, sociospychological tradition, sociocultural tradition and the critical tradition.

For example, Wilson and Gutierrez argue that the news media plays a central role in defining society (by virtue of its surveillance and informer functions) through the reinforcement of standards, norms, and values. 4 Likewise, J. R. Ponting, in his analysis of stereotyping of Aboriginals in Canada, notes that the news media imposes a culturally racist model of Canadian society by using ethno-specific values and norms. 5 In addition, Todd Ferguson, a Montreal-based social activist, argues that the news

ontological approaches bring to pass differing methodological approaches. Methodology refers to the processes and procedures of the research. Research methods used include observation, interviews, focus groups, surveys, case studies, questionnaires and analysis of text (Ponterotto, 2005, p.132). Observational research is non-experimental research where a researcher observes ongoing behaviour.

The fundamental purpose of the paper is to thus seek answers to the question whether

One popular book that continues to be a choice for young adult literature is The Great Gatsby. The book lends itself to a Critical Multicultural analysis due to the many examples of how social hierarchies played out and how they are reinforced throughout the novel. According to Botehlo and Rudman, “The purpose of multicultural literature [is] using literature to provide ways to affirm and gain entry into one’s own culture and the culture of others.” So, this book can illustrate how the text might

of producing meaning by the different news media, it is necessary to analyse media representations as texts and images by discovering textual, visual and discursive properties (Orgad, 2012: 17). The case-study, therefore, will research the media discourse of news reports produced by the Guardian and Al-Jazeera, choosing 5 pairs of news stories with similar topics among Syria war.

Deixis are essentially words whose denotation changes from one place to another or from one discourse to another. They are form words such as pronouns, articles and prepositions among others. Deixis is the most obvious way in which the relationship between language and context is reflected in the structure of languages themselves. The main examples of deictic expressions are: personal pronouns (especially first and second person pronouns), demonstratives, specific adverbs of place and time, and other

of media articles (Cameron 2010; Critchley 2009; Doherty 2011; Kermond 2012, Jones & Cuneo 2009; Snow 2013; Tuohy 2012) have depicted the sexualisation of children as a prevailing social matter which accentuate concepts represented in moral panic discourse. In everyday practices of reporting public and social events, moral panic frequently becomes elicited by society’s mass mediated exaggeration of certain social events. What becomes apparent from Critcher’s work (2003), is how understandings of public
