Summary/Abstract: This article aims to define the changes in the way of writing the basic model of factographic genres in journalist’s reporting (news), challenged by a new social context, in a new media era, influenced by new technologies. This analysis appears 20 years after Hirst’s and Guerke’s research that had shown modification in the way of writing an inverted pyramid which, inter alia, implies the presence of journalist’s attitude. The research conducted by Hirst and Guerke also predicted raising domination of softnews. This paper attempts to show the justification of these assumptions in the news media context.
