Popis Nowadays, it is quite impossible to ignore the role media play in the society. While distributing information to a wide audience, media provide a large source of language data that have recently received a lot of scholarly attention, particularly in the realm of linguistics. As a result, numerous broadcasting genres have been defined and analyzed with the attention to their structure, characteristic traits and functions. Studies have shown that media discourse has its own distinctive features that distinguish it from other forms of written and spoken communication. Yet we cannot expect that these characteristics are permanent and not subject to change. On the contrary, recent studies by scholars such as Fairclough demonstrate that the language in the media is affected by on-going social and cultural changes. In my research, I focus on the changes in news presenting, which is traditionally regarded as rather formal and ‘serious’. From newsreels through news bulletins to news-only channels it is evident that news presenting always adapts to the needs of the times. By examining the structure and language of present-day TV news bulletins and comparing them with past broadcasts, I aim to monitor changes that news presenting undergoes and to anticipate its future developments. To what extent is news presenting affected by changes in current society? How can we define contemporary news presenting? These are the questions we are going to answer.
