Abstract

[A prominent, traditional approach to controversy emphasizes problem solving, seeking to develop general methods for its ethical and effective resolution, or particular therapeutic interventions designed for particular cases. The investigator seeks to intervene in a controversy and to resolve it by prescribing best practices for participants. In this, the work must locate the controversy somewhere, and a traditional location is in a decision making dialogue among interlocutors. This location has become well established through long-standing standards and practices of many institutions including training in academic literacy. However, there are many other locations beyond this traditional one. News texts and the reading situation are locations of public controversy, and journalists and news readers are among the participants. News discourse contributes to our experience of public controversy.]
