Abstract
Economic news we read everyday is probably our main source of economic knowledge. Thus, it has an important role in shaping our public knowledge, attitudes and behavior. Concerned with significance of critical comprehending of economic news, this research is conducted to investigate how writers in economist.com and tuoitre.vn address economic issues as well as discover similarities and differences of English and Vietnamese economic news. More importantly, the researcher aims at shedding light on implications of critical discourse analysis (CDA) for understanding and writing economic news. In this study, Van Dijk’s framework [4] is employed to detect 12 common discursive strategies used by journalists in 200 samples (100 samples in English and 100 samples in Vietnamese) collected from the two newspapers in English and Vietnamese: economist.com and tuoitre.vn. Findings show that discursive strategies are used differently in the two languages to address economic issues based on different ideologies of the writers.
