Abstract

News is not a neutral and transparent medium, but a reflection of social ideology. It reflects and in turn shapes the prevailing values of the society in a particular historical context. The critical analysis of ideology-loaded news reports seeks to expose the ideology hidden in language structure and its relationship with social structure and power manipulation. Systematic functional study proves that language users make different choices in the symbolic system at all levels of language to construct ideology in the discourse of news reports. This study focuses on the relationships between ideology-loaded words and power to unveil the hidden ideology in public discourse to strengthen the anti-control awareness of public discourses.
