TV infotainment, a case study: Romania de la A la Z. The hypothesis of this study is that the XXI century has redefined journalism by the subjectivity with which several topics of national interest are addressed. The grounded 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 of news magazine proposed by some of the Romanian shows, especially the one hosted by Sabin Gherman on the Look TV channel. Hence, this case study plans to emphasize the conjunction of a serious genre (news magazine) with a non-serious one (satire), attempting to define an “ongoing journalistic genre“(infotainment).
REZUMAT. Infotainment televizat, un studiu de caz: Romania de la A la Z. Ipoteza acestui studiu este aceea că secolul XXI a redefinit jurnalismul prin subiectivitatea cu care se tratează subiecte de interes național, iar principiile de bază, „serioase” ale jurnalismului își pierd considerabil din importanță, alunecând spre divertisment. Vom aborda problematica hibridării genurilor în presa televizată, insistând asupra formelor emergente de revistă a presei propuse de unele emisiuni românești, în special cea prezentată de Sabin Gherman pe canalul Look TV. Astfel, studiul de caz efectuat își propune să evidențieze îmbinarea unui gen serios (cel al revistei presei) cu unul nonserios (satira), în încercarea de a defini un gen jurnalistic „în mișcare” (infotainment).
Cuvinte-cheie: revista presei, jurnalism de comedie, satiră, gen mediatic, hibridare, divertisment.
