IDEOLOGICAL REPRESENTATION OF MALALA YOUSAF ZAI: A CRITICAL DISCOURSE ANALYSIS OF NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PRINT MEDIA

Abstract

Malala Yousaf Zai’s representation in Pakistani and International print media has always been very critical. How she has been portrayed in National and International print media after Taliban attack in October 2012 is a million-dollar question. For this purpose, the editorials and articles of  two Pakistani and two internationals , i.e The NewYork Times and The Guardian, have been taken. The four events were taken to conduct the study, first when Malala was shot, her UN Speech and Nobel Prize and her Graduation. To find out the real truth the study was conduct and for this reason van Dijik;s socio cognitive model has been used. It is the use of the language and its expression which makes the difference.
