Summary/Abstract: Mass-media represents "a true laboratory where linguistic innovations”, and at the same time, journalistic language becomes a true technique for "exploring the linguistic market," as it is extremely conclusive, with both dynamic and varied tendencies, and great receptivity regarding linguistic innovation. In media texts, there is a massive penetration of anglicisms. The anglicisms used in Romanian media language are diverse both in terms of form, purpose, and the terminologies they belong to. Therefore, the mediatic language reflects clearly the linguistic trends of the Romanian speakers.
