Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)

The introductory chapter discusses the scope of the analysis, focusing on newspaper articles from five British newspapers reporting the same event – the Najaf uprising in Iraq. The chapter outlines the newspapers chosen, their respective positions on the political spectrum, and the key event being analyzed. It also introduces the relevant works of Allan Bell and Teun van Dijk, which will be used as frameworks for analysis.

The chapter on basic analysis delves into the news values present in the articles. It examines the concept of negativity, recency, proximity, consonance, unambiguity, unexpectedness, superlativeness, relevance, personalization, eliteness, attribution, and facticity.
