A Multimodal Genre Analysis of Data News: A Systemic Functional Approach investigates the meaning-making process of data news and its genre characteristics to establish an integrated model for data news analysis. The book offers valuable insights into the study of data journalism within the fields of linguistics and semiotics. While systematic studies on the generic changes in data news are still limited, this work opens up avenues for future study. It particularly stands out by analyzing the semantic features of visualized images within multimodal discourse and investigating how text and images interact. This not only broadens the understanding of discourse semantics and multimodal discourse in data journalism but also provides useful frameworks for examining multimodal discourse in general.
