THE RECEIPT OF THE EDITORIAL
THE RECEIPT OF THE EDITORIAL

Summary/Abstract: Starting from the main communication actuators, the transmitter and the receiver, the aim of this study is to analyze the editorial texts from the perspective of the receiver, i.e. the reader. Thanks to the facilities offered by the online environment, we have based our research on the comments found in the dedicated fields on the online pages of the publications from which the corpus was formed. The analysis led to an attempt to categorize messages from readers based on their content or formal layout: we have identified comments that refer to the content of the editorials, comments through which readers question the author of the text, or comments that are published as replies to previous comments on the same text. Regardless of the category these messages fall into, they prove the need for information and the individuals’ concern towards the issues discussed in the press.
