Summary/Abstract: This paper proposes an analysis of journalistic discourse in two media events. The current world crisis produced economic and social changes which triggered alterations of the priorities on the journalists’ and politicians’ agendas. Through the analysis of thematic structures in the political journalists’ discourses, we aim to reveal these alterations that we associate with the masculinization of political and journalistic discourse.
