How do the media shape people’s perception of societal issues? How do they favor certain narratives while discrediting others? With “This Morning’s” revealing interviews with Greta Thunberg and her supporters as examples, these are the bigger questions that this in-depth language analysis gives answers to. How do the interviewers create sympathy for Thunberg, and what do interviews like these mean for people’s perception of her cause? Is the sympathetic portrayal of Thunberg warranted? To answer these questions, this video takes a closer look at the word choice of the interviewers and Thunberg and makes comparisons to 1) Thunberg’s most important speeches and 2) an interview with her supporters. This video has an educational purpose. You can use many of the principles and concepts to decode interviews, speeches, and your own daily conversations. As an analysis, this video is carefully made according to the terms of ‘fair use’. Support the work this channel is doing:
