Abstract
ABSTRACT In this article, I examine UK, Swiss and Spanish online news articles that report on a violent event (Nice, France, 14 July 2016) and that were published on the first day of the news cycle. I focus in particular on the language of the headlines, and on accompanying visual material, as this would have been likely to be ‘read’ with each headline. These textual and visual elements translate the event as newsworthy and as a terrorist act. Differences across the news cultures represented are discussed, and the case is made for extending cross-cultural research on stylistic and visual features of news texts.
