Summary/Abstract: This paper interprets selected semiotic phenomena related to tabloidisation of television news.The analysis focuses on the shifts in relations of visual and verbal mode: 1. iconisation ofinformation presented in verbal mode, usually leading to destabilisation of the metaphoricalprinciple, and 2. hypertrophisation of literal verbal description of images, leading to moresignificant indexicality of news messages (e. g. by use of deictic words). The authors alsocharacterise the reconstruction and dramatisation in tabloid journalism and the associatedexplicit presentation of production practices that contribute to defamiliarisation and thereforeto ongoing destabilisation of traditional news discourse.
