When locality is comprehensively constructed based on the spatial perspective and on the dynamic
perspective of socio-cultural interaction, it may not overstate to assert that almost all domains of
contemporary research on media discourse are linked to the issue of locality.At the textual level, for
example, locality is often represented in the thematical issue of critical discourse moments chosen
to reexamine the textual representation of media’s ideological standpoints. At the same time, locality
is also situated as an integrated aspect which is always elaborated at the level of contextual level of
analysis.By focusing on the theoretical framework of CDA, this paper discusses how the concept of
locality is recontextualized in the contemporary research of media discourse.
