About this book
Reviews
“This book is richly illustrated and provides a careful account of the tools available, effectively demonstrating how they can be applied, as well as how Caple has developed them to apply more closely to news images. … this is a worthwhile and timely contribution to the field of news discourse, which Caple has rightly demonstrated as, for all intents and purposes, multimodal.” (Helan A. Sissons, Communication Research and Practice, Vol. 3 (1), 2017)
"[Caple's] knowledge base and experience make for some interesting research." - CHOICE
"By presenting a systematic analysis of press photographs and providing a set of useful tools for their interpretation, Photojournalism: A Social Semiotic Approach successfully redresses the imbalance between words and images in news discourse studies, and its insightful account of text image relations, in particular, constitutes a timely and valuable contribution to the area of multimodal discourse analysis." - Discourse & Communication
"In this richly illustrated book, Helen Caple admirably combines professional know-how, analytical finesse, and theoretical insight." - Theo van Leeuwen, University of Southern Denmark
