Summary/Abstract: This paper aims to analyse conceptual categories clustered around power metaphors. My research focused on metaphorical conceptualizations of POWER in current Romanian TV journalism, in collecting metaphors I relied on the MIP and MIPVU methods. People frequently use metaphors in ordinary life situations. Identifying/Collecting (manually) power conceptual metaphors in media discourse was a challenge for me. Power is a polysemantic lexical term and an abstract noun. At present, the mappings of power are very interesting, because power is closely connected to politics. The metaphorical correspondences developed by word power differ from one context to another.
