Abstract (EN): This paper focuses on the appearance of certain instances of “intermediate genres” in written press derived from the miscegenation of press editorials and adver-tisements. It analyses the case of a specific advertisement and health editorial printed in VIP – a Portuguese social magazine – in April 2010. It appeals to a theoretical frame-work from Discourse Analysis in order to prove the miscegenation of genres between the two chosen texts. Four aspects are developed: the context and co-text of the ana-lyzed discourses; the genres involved; the language and paralanguage used; the prag-matic values activated – locutionary, illocutionary, perlocutionary.The study aims at proving that different genres combinations formed from adver-tisements and other types of discourse, especially in media discourses, are a sign of the colonization that advertising carries on other discourses financially dependent on it
