Abstract:
|
As noted by Jaworski, Fitzgerald, & Morris, (2003a, 2003b, 2004), a significant amount of news items refer to future events. This paper examines the “discourse of the future” in order to identify its extent and different genres.
The research examined 1,745 headlines in Israeli newspapers over a period of 18 years (1985-2003) and found that most (60 percent to 70 percent) of the main headlines deal also with future and not just past events.
The qualitative analysis suggests four types of discourse of the future genres: Predictable Future, Informed Assessment, Speculative Assessment and Conjectured Future (uncertain future time).
The discussion argues that the discourse of the future carries political importance because it provides fertile ground for media spin-doctors, for releasing trial balloons, presenting an image of activity, covering-up embarrassing mishaps, magnifying threats, creating solidarity, and justifying acts of government. |
