The shifts of horizons between the narrator and addressee, the change of the communicative context and media, the similarities and differences of narrative modes, and the sequence of time structure can all constitute important research areas. The present essay is an investigation into the similarities and differences of journalistic styles between mainland China and Taiwan, with a view to proving that, apart from the subjectivity of the communicators, the change of communicative context is also a dynamic that brings about the accretion of alien elements in journalistic style as well as the formation of individuality. As journalism in the mainland of China has, since 1949, been developing in an isolated context, its style as a result is a combination of modernity, popularity and nationality. The journalistic style in Taiwan, on the other hand, has retained many of the characteristics of the journalistic style in the mainland in the late 1940s, evincing conspicuous family ties with the latter. With the continuous deepening of contact and exchange between the mainland and Taiwan since the former adopted the policy of reform and opening up in the 1980s, journalistic styles on the both sides have demonstrated more and more common features. The essay will, by way of examining the evolution of the journalistic style in both the mainland and Taiwan, seek out their respective narrative characteristics, which, under the influence of socio-cultural changes, have undergone a process of divergence and convergence. It is the author¡¯s hope that this academic effort will shed new light on the history of journalistic writing.
