Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examines how the news media during the COVID-19 pandemic perpetuated Dan Lortie’s [1975. Schoolteacher: A sociological study. University of Chicago Press] notion of the teacher’s role as ‘special but shadowed.’ Employing Metaphorical Coding and Critical Discourse Analysis, this study analyzes pandemic-era media accounts published in the United States from March 2020 to March 2022 to investigate how the media naturalized the public's perception of the teacher's role as beloved but expendable, a modern echo of Lortie's ‘special but shadowed.’
