News discourse plays a pivotal role in representing ideological perspectives on news events. This paper analyzes news opinions on the 2023 collapse of Silicon Valley Bank in terms of political ideology by examining lexical choices, based on the assumption that political ideologies of news media influence their interpretations of economic issues and the ideological perspectives are conveyed through language. For this purpose, The New York Times and The Korean Economic Daily are selected for analysis. The headlines and leads of the news opinions are examined qualitatively, while keyword frequencies are measured as a quantitative approach. The results of the analysis clearly reveal ideological differences between the two newspapers: the former adopts a progressive stance, emphasizing accountability for the financial turmoil by criticizing the Federal Reserve for deregulation, aggressive monetary policy, and insufficient oversight of Silicon Valley Bank—issues commonly associated with progressive stances. In contrast, the latter focuses more on practical measures to mitigate the economic fallout of the crisis. These findings demonstrate that ideological differences are reflected in the newspapers’ lexical choices.
