Abstract

In this paper I examine the role of knowledge in news, news production and news comprehension in the press. The complex background of this study is my earlier work on the psychology of text processing, my previous studies on news and on ideology. The analysis of knowledge undertaken here is intended as part of my first attempts to study in more detail the role of ideology in social cognition in general, and in relation to knowledge in particular. Part of this endeavor is an elementary typology of knowledge as it is expressed or presupposed by news discourse.
