Abstract
This chapter investigates the attitude of the reporter in an article about Iraq war published in a newspaper in Vietnam, the Nhan Dan Daily. Appraisal theory, especially attitude and engagement, is used as the tools of analysis to explore the reporter’s opinions and ideological positioning expressed in the article. The analysis reveals the reporter’s negative attitude towards US government as well as the strategies used to engage other parties in support of the reporter’s point of view.
