Journalism and Reporting

Abstract

Based on Slovene as well international lingusitic literature, there is a difference between the broader term "journalism (Sln. publicistika) and the more specific term "reporting" (Sln. poročevalstvo). The latter in understood as the act of informing the public on a daily basis. In this framework the research on contemporary material has conformed the linguistic and stylistic pecularities, which developed as a consequence of the selection from the Slovene literary language with a purpuse of performing its function in reporting texts. The pecularities of these texts comrise the reporting style. Hence, it is logical to discuss the reporting substyle, which consists of reporting and evaluative reporting texts, within the jurnalistic functional style.
