Summary

Introduction

This paper is going to discuss the relationship between news narrative discourse and ideology. Discourse analysis and ideology can all be regarded as the path of text analysis while a relationship of overlapping and interaction exists between the three. In order to make the discussion process clearer and more specific, this paper is going to classify narrative discourse into narrative analysis. I will explain several concepts about narrative and ideology and their connections to introduce my research background and approach, discuss cases in “News Probe”, the representative of news investigation programs in China from the narrative perspective, with the expectation to display the interactive relationship between news narrative discourse and ideology. Ideology controls news narrative discourse, while news narrative discourse helps to construct the existing ideology. The connection between discourse and ideology was noticed as early as in 1979 when Fuller et al put forward “critical discourse analysis” in “Language and Control”, the framework “discourse, right and ideology” (Hu Chunyang, 2007, 173-177) is constructed on the basis of interaction between ideology and discourse practice
