Rezensionen

"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
