Summary/Abstract: This article offers insight into the generic profile of news media discourse (O’Keeffe 2006:1, Silver-stein 2005:7, Van Dijk 2008:94, Kopytowska 2013:379) based on the (Western) online news coverageduring the first day of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. It is believed that the generic value of newsreportings is realised in patterns which underlie discourse order (Foucault 1972:49), generate its cultur-al representations (Silverstein 1975:157, Sherzer 1983:11, Chilton 2004:48, Bazerman 2020:152), andconstruct its social reality (Foley 1997:24, Langacker 2008:21). Advancing the concept of collocates asa tool for establishing lexical patterns in online news reports, examined through a referential lens of an-thropological pragmatics (Chruszczewski 2011:50), this paper provides an integrated approach whichcombines the quantitative method of a concordance-informed discourse analysis (Baker 2006:92) anda qualitative approach which presents how text provides for the context of use through the dimensionof media framing (Anshori/Pawito/Tri Kartono/Hastjarjo 2022, Goffman 1986:26).
