Abstract

In this article we are analyzing the process of classification of editing types advanced by Romanian journalism text-books.  The classification that we are interested in is related to print press articles particularly.  Our main goal is to respect, according to specialists, the separation of press categories from the other editorial units: peritextual units on one hand and groups of events and rubrication on the other hand.  We’re trying thus to sketch up the main frame of a characterisation of written press by respecting the rules of textual typology advanced by the Swiss linguist Jean Michel Adam. The study approaches a linguistic perspective, but we are trying not to over cross the boundaries of already known editing journalistic standards. The dimensions of discourse fact relating each text to an extra linguistic component, allow us to insist on not so well structured variants of print press types.
