Translated title:
The theatre criticism in newspapers: the changes, the new practices and the future
Summary:
The Thesis deals with the textual kind of theatrical critique as part of the journalistic discourse,
hosted for many decades in newspapers.It studies the phenomenon of the reduced number of the
theatrical critics in the press and the reasons that led to this reduction. At the same time, it
examines the changes that the theatrical review has undergone today, as well as the problems that
modern contemporary theatrical criticism has to deal with.
Through the collection of newspapers with theatrical criticisms and through the interviews of
two theatrical reviewers, the Thesis is attempted to clarify the landscape of theatrical critique in
the newspapers. The research is based on five key research questions about the causes of the
decline in theatrical critics, the changes that have occurreddue to the Internet and the goals of
theatrical critics in the future.
The conclusions of the work reveal the direct relationship between the reducing number of
theatrical reviews and the economic crisis and, above all, it presents thatInternet appears to be
the future of the contemporary practice of theatrical review.
