Abstract
The purpose of this contrastive study is to investigate how the international press, the New York Times, and Al Jazeera TV news, portray the impact of Covid 19 on the places that have been impacted. Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis is used in this comparison to discover media ideology. Meaning - making resources realised via visuals are also considered, in addition to linguistic characteristics. Headlines and articles containing Van Dijk's ideological square discourse are analysed using Halliday (2005) transitivity and imagery in the chosen articles and programmes utilising representational function of image. The findings demonstrate that both media depicted the world as a Self-group, but Covid was seen as a group that was distinct from the Self-representation. Self-representation was depicted in opposition to Other-representation as a victim and a warrior aiming to avoid a pandemic.
