Communicative Styles

I just have to quote from Margit Krause-Ono's article (found in my link list) because she says, "No matter how similar news programs from different parts of the world might seem to be, they still have different communicative styles and different priorities in their content." After that she goes on and refers to Bolten (Bolten, J. "Kultur und Kommunikativer" 2002) who says, "communicative styles are in themselves cultural styles, subtly showing the values held important in a given culture."
