The newspaper is a repository of specialized genres/registers that are present in a daily basis on its pages, by any medium of access. However, as the clear distinction among press genres/registers is sometimes blurry, even by the writers of those texts, some questions about the linguistic stability of some genres/registers could be made. This study will analyze language variation from a corpus of the "Folha de S.Paulo" broadsheet newspaper, classified in terms of press genres/ registers by four expert classifiers. This task generated a database of texts classified by journalistic genres/registers, in which the majority of the texts were labeled as reportage and/or news report. Scores that reflect the degree of consensus around press registers were then plotted along the dimensions of variation of the journalistic text identified in Kauffmann (2005). This allowed to verify to what extent the average partial agreement scores of the main news reports are linked to their respective agreement categories.
