Abstract
This study discusses how the Egyptian revolution (January 2011) was covered in selected field reports from three media outlets with different affiliations; the state-run Nile TV International, the Qatari Al-Jazeera English, and the American CNN, aiming to find out how the protesters, Mubarak, and his supporters were represented in the field reports of the selected channels. The study draws on an eclectic approach including Fairclough’s three-dimensional model as expounded in (1995b) (particularly the textual dimension with a special emphasis on the transitivity system), and Van Dijk’s socio cognitive model (Van Dijk 2000a) and within the paradigm of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The study proved that the affiliation of the media outlets was the main factor influencing their coverage of the revolution. where Nile TV showed subtle inclination towards Mubarak{u2019}s regime but it changed its stance after his resignation, while Al-Jazeera English leaned towards the protesters, and so did the CNN which opted for more credibility and professionalism. There were no changes in the stances of Al-Jazeera English and CNN
