This study explores how national identity as ideology is encoded in the production of news. A major component of this ideology is the tendency to realize national self-identity through 'othering', the construction of an 'us and them' dichotomy. In turn, this may promote a myth of superiority and dominance of the in-group over outside groups and cultures. The results of the analysis constained in this study on the reportage of the murder case involving Lindsay Hawker and Tatsuya Ichihashi suggest that in the UK press this ideology tends to be based on a platform of racial and cultural superiority over the 'other'Japanese culture. In comparison, the Japanese press discourse exhibits a process of negating the 'other', excluding agency and maintaining a largely internal and exclusionary focus. The analysis of this study centers on UK and Japanese media reports of a press conference held in Tokyo on March 24th, 2008 by Hawker's family. A systematic analysis utilizing the methodology of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) has been applied to explore the ideological underpinnings and values encoded in and represented by the two texts. As well as drawing from the analytical framework outlined by Fowler (1991), tools from Fairclough's guide to performing CDA, contained in his book, Language and Power (2001), are combined in this study. In addition, the results have been quantitatively tested through the analysis of a small corpus constructed for this study
