TV infotainment, a case study: Romania de la A la Z . The hypothesis of this study is that the XXI century has redefined journalism by the subjectivity with which several topics of national interest are addressed. The grounded principles of journalism are considerably losing their importance, converging to entertainment. We shall approach the problem of genre hybridization within the televisual press, insisting upon the emergent forms of news magazine proposed by some of the Romanian shows, especially the one hosted by Sabin Gherman on the Look TV channel. Hence, this case study plans to emphasize the conjunction of a serious genre (news magazine) with a non-serious one (satire), attempting to define an “ongoing journalistic genre“(infotainment).

Keywords: news magazine, comedy journalism, satire, media genre, hybridity, entertainment.
