Abstract: The purpose of the present paper is to illustrate with eloquent examples the way of manifestation of orality within popular or spoken verbal structures used in the written version of the journalistic style. The journalistic style products are materialized both in audio-visual and in written press. The journalistic style products contain a broad and diverse range of elements specific to the spoken version of language. These elements are present both in printed and electronic media and belong to the phonetic level, to the vocabulary or to the grammar of Romanian language. The high degree of accessibility and variation determine us to analyse a diversity of Romanian journalistic texts belonging to the electronic media. Our analysis based on these texts will end up with an inventory of verbal structures specific to spoken language but present in these written texts and dominated by a well-marked oral character. The oral character of the written press is the result of its source and of its main purpose. The source of the journalistic products is the everyday language and the main purpose of these texts is to persuade the various audiences. Thus, the purpose of these written texts is not to be literary, but to be understandable by everyday people.
