Abstract | This study aims at investigating the engagement of news writers in reporting gender-based content towards both female and LGBTQ politicians in the press in Thailand. The data were 39 clause complexes containing both female or LGBTQ politician as an actor and units of evaluation of gender and sexual orientations. They were collected from two online mainstream English-language newspapers: Bangkok Post and Khaosod. The period of data collection was May 2019 - December 2021. Engagement domain under Martin and White (2005)’s Appraisal Theory was employed as an analytical framework. The findings reveal that attribute under dialogic expansion domain was employed the most (32 times) in expressing performative evaluations towards female and LGBTQ politicians. This suggests that the writers were distancing from their responsibility for what they said. The findings also shed light on the writing strategies used for content creator. |
