Style policy and style politics: a neglected aspect of the language of the news

Article Abstract:

Newspaper style books offer a series of rules which help frame the viewpoints of their reporters, and therefore of the attitudes their readers see. Style rules implicitly frame the ideologies and politics of the newspaper's official speech. The style book of the Times, for example, has rules forbidding the use of 'Americanisms' in place of proper 'English' usage. Analysis of style books can help reveal prejudices and biases which the media help perpetuate unconsciously.
