| SUMMARY: |
The hypothesis of this thesis is that the 21st century has redefined
journalism by the subjectivity with which several topics of national interest
are addressed. Following the American model and considering the era of
globalization we live in, the initial principles of journalism are considerably
losing their importance, converging to entertainment. We shall approach the
problem of genre hybridization within the televisual press, insisting upon the
emergent forms proposed by some American (The Daily Show, Last Week
Tonight, The Late Night and Late Show) and Romanian shows (România de la A
la Z, Starea Nației, Lumea lui Banciu and În gura presei. Hence, all these case
studies plan to emphasize the conjunction of some serious and non-serious
genres, in an attempt to define the variable forms of an “ongoing journalistic
genre” (infotainment). |
