Summary/Abstract: Alexandr Stich theoretically contributed to the definition of the journalistic style in the system of functional styles, understanding it as a style primarily determined by the persuasive function. After 1989, he himself became a prominent publicist who tried to influence public opinion on matters of cultural and political importance in his texts published especially in Literární noviny, Lidové noviny and Přítomnost. In our analysis, we approach Stich’s journalism from the perspective of Hausenblas’s functional stylistics as a text complex, i.e. as a whole, which – as we show – is unified in function, style and meaning and is internally interconnected on the linguistic, thematic and compositional levels.
