| Sommario/riassunto: | Preformulating the News is a study of press releases and of how they anticipate the requirements of journalistic writing. Drawing from a large corpus (Dutch and English), it is argued that the genre's peculiar audience-directedness can be related to a number of metapragmatic textual features and that this sheds light on the asymmetries of what can be termed the 'newsmaking' and 'news management' processes.In the first chapter the study of press releases is put in the context of institutional discourse and the details of a linguistic pragmatic research method are proposed.
