摘要：Framed in a critical discourse analysis (CDA) perspective, this study examined narrative-based media reportage on immigrant students in a Canadian school context. CDA researchers studying the relationship between race, immigration, and the media have noted how covert racist ideology against visible minorities continues to circulate along with the discourse of celebrating diversity. Using this line of thought, I focused on rhetorical strategies in order to understand how immigrant students are constructed in the print news media after the wake of September 11. The analysis indicates that: (1) media producers mainly represent opinions of high-powered social elites through functionalization and racialization; (2) the journalists, as opposed to the ideology of media neutrality, legitimate immigrant youth's marginalization in school by presupposing meritocratic social structure and recycling racial stereotypes; and (3) strategic choice of modality and framing verbs in narrative-based reportage may lead the readers to consume news articles in favor of social elites.
