The Web has become an important source of news, with distinctive features of form and content, making web-news different from other traditional types of news and requiring different analytical tools. This research consists of an analysis of the news presented by the CNN on its websites in Arabic and English. The research is interdisciplinary in nature. It is based mainly in the field of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), with insights from other disciplines, such as multimodal discourse analysis, functional linguistics and translation studies. The analysed data consisted of stories collected from both sites in Arabic and English, as well as a users' questionnaire distributed and collected online. For the purpose of triangulation, the analysis included multimodal, quantitative and qualitative analyses of the collected new stories and the questionnaire data. The book is addressed to researchers and students in the fields of Linguistics, Translation Studies and Media Studies.
