News Discourse is a valuable addition to the Bloomsbury Discourse series; it covers an interesting topic in a novel way that will be of interest to a wide readership. More importantly, the volume does so in a way that is timely both in the modalities under consideration and the data used. Bednarek and Caple's book incorporates an extensive range of material and examines the crucial interplay of text and image in contemporary news discourse. The book will be useful to researchers and students interested in linguistic, media, or discursive approaches to analysing news texts and images.
