Summary/Abstract: Ever since the Revolution that took place in 1989, the strategies and tools of investigation in the field of the media have undergone a process of modernization, whose main purpose lies in the organization of the information in an explicit and objective manner, in view of facilitating the delivery of the message to a particular target. This tendency of modernization is apparent in the conception of the electoral talk-shows, where the protagonists’ management of the situation is decisive for the subsequent number of votes in their favour. This paper constitutes a record of the peculiarities characterizing this new type of TV programme, highlighting the consequences of its structural constraints and the way they are reflected in the reality of the discourse.
