A FURTHER ARRANGEMENT : RECLASSIFYING THE EDITORIAL TYPE

Abstract

Learning how to do journalism means learning how to produce journalistic genres. A more in-depth knowledge of the elements that constitute the most frequent types of discursive compositions of journalism requires one to have a greater knowledge about the practice itself, about the competences required to conduct journalism and, most importantly, about the linguistic actions that can be applied to each composition. Genres make up part of the institutional objectives of this social activity, in the essence of modern journalism, differentiating between news and comments (early eighteenth century). It deals with the relationship between discourse and reality, the dialectic of event and meaning (philosophy of language) and the concept of interpretation.
