Abstract

Media reports are considered as a representation of reality that reaches great numbers of people including newspapers, radio, and television. They provide people with daily and routine information about related social, economic, and political events. Therefore, languages in media reports are impersonal, objective, and neutral. Thus, this paper intends to represent a critical discourse analysis of media reports on the COVID-19 pandemic in Jordan. The data were collected from online Jordanian media reports, particularly Jordan Times newspaper concerning the reactions of Jordanian citizens during the break of the pandemic in Jordan. The theoretical framework of the study used Halliday's (1985) Systematic Functional Grammar (SFG). This was employed to examine the linguistic features using two critical discourse analysis techniques (CDA; nominalization and passivization to unfold the practice of biased language in these media reports. Therefore, the findings of the analysis revealed that Jordan Times newspaper media reports relating to the COVID-19 pandemic break in Jordan do not continue impartial in reporting such sensitive issues. The inference for news reporters is to retain continuously their neutrality in advance while reportage any events.
