Summary/Abstract: The present contribution represents a partial research probe into the problems of the theory of codified language and linguistic culture of the contemporary Slovak language applied to the practice of mass media communication. On the basis of the analysed language material, we relativize the frequently cited argument of unflattering or even disrepair status of use of the Slovak language in public journalistic sphere. On the contrary, by means of linguistic-stylistic interpretation of the four editions of main news programme of RTVS/Slovak Television, we prove that language culture of particular assessed presenters/anchors and editors is at the relatively good level, as their public utterances do not significantly violate the current valid codification standard.
