This article offers a discursive analysis of these questions by focusing on how commenters, through their uses of language in connection with news texts, address the political ordering of news discourse and their positioning therein. Using Critical Discourse Analysis and other interaction-oriented forms of discourse analysis, we examine, first, the topics and the framing of voices in news coverage and, second, the interactional order, stance markers and style features of readers’ comments. Based on data regarding a policy plan on hydroelectric power in Portugal that was submitted to public consultation, we show that citizen positionings emerging from the interaction between news texts and comments change the balance of power within the discussion, but their participatory potential is restrained by traditional citizenship regimes.The author(s) disclosed receipt of the following financial support for the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article: This work was developed for the project COMPOLIS: 'Communication and Political Engagement with Environmental Issues' and supported by the Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia (Portugal) [grant number EXPL/IVC-COM/1717/2012] through national funds (PIDDAC) and co-funded by the European Fund of Regional Development (FEDER) through COMPETE - Operational Program Competitive Factors (POFC).info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionSAGEUniversidade do MinhoPinto-Coelho, ZaraCarvalho, AnabelaSeixas, Eunice Cristina Nascimento Castro20192019-01-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/1822/45733eng1464-88491741-300110.1177/1464884917707595http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1464884917707595info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-21T12:54:07ZPortal AgregadorONG
