Summary/Abstract: This article approaches political news and their analysis, according to the structure of the written press. Political news shall be analyzed as language phenomena and as discursive structures. The persuasion strategy of the issuer and the way he sees things underpin the political language. The social context of the problem, the language used, the journalistic language of the news, the status of the issuer, are always at the border between pragmatics and semantics, between linguistics and political sciences, between sociology and marketing policy. This article aims to address only a few elements of the also complex relationship between ideology and press, between the language used and the sphere of politics, without doubt remaining open for the many forms and visions that are to come.
