Summary/Abstract: The paper is grounded in a wide research of new journalistic genres in current weeklies. Examining a sample of 102 copies of four Slovak weeklies (Týždeň, Plus 7 dní, Život,Slovenka) the author defined new genres in three groups: longformat texts, shortformat textsand lifestyle. In the last one she speaks about five genres: phenomenon, rumours, good piecesof advice, agony column and annotations. Here she presents the phenomenon in detail:working with five genre criterions (topic, function, form, composition, language) andpresenting its characteristics (specialist background, personal experience, story, expressivity, emotivity, persuasiveness).
