“…The ideal representations of media genres span the broad fields, and the great importance lies in understanding of a media genre (Huang, Zhang, 2019), its identification in the discursive environment (Barragan, 2016), in language use and in institutionalized and controlled settings concerning the communicative conventions in participant groups or discourse community.…”

World views and forms of human interaction, which can be included in the modern globalism, pose challenges not only for scientific disciplines such as political science or sociology, but also for language and media studies. If one wants to do justice to the global perspective that has become increasingly necessary due to social and cultural developments in these disciplines, the first thing to do in linguistic and media studies is to redefine the subject of study and possibly to expand it. This study takes into consideration new perspectives that give fresh impulses to the debates on genre canon formation and genre canon revision, which have been virulent in diverse formats of public communication. Dynamization and hybridity of media genres as well as the genre spectrum of modern media are presented in the paper as a scalable model that supports systematic and nuanced distinctions between degrees of generic blending. Accordingly contemporary media offer rich text material for developing such a model. The media texts indicate a clear tendency towards mixing of diverse media strategies. It will be also emphasized that this tendency, based on a distinct genres awareness, has been numerously documented in media texts in the recent years. The current revival of genre oriented and media generated text styles, at one hand, represent forms that merge genre attributes and blur the lines between them. The other extreme covers the motley bulk of media texts and makes their distinctive generic elements clearly recognizable, e.g. allows to follow hypothetic text changes from one genre to another. In the conditions of dynamization and hybridization media texts are challenged for the reader as a very complex arrangement of levels, settings and formats. They all perform an overriding unity of mental activity and reflections containing complex and amalgamated generic elements.
