COVID 19 LOCKDOWN AND MEDIA: A STUDY ON SELECTED EDITORIALS

Abstract

Editorials' aptitude lies in the progressions they make to social orders. These communicated opinions
tackle current issues and attempt to discover proof to demonstrate speculations and answer genuine and
complex inquiries. This paper tries to understand the response of media to the nationwide lockdown that
was announced to combat the ongoing pandemic. It uses Critical Discourse Analysis to identify the
markers placed in the selected editorials to draw conclusion on their reaction.
