Abstract
This research paper is devoted to the study of the structural components of political news texts with the Hourglass Style structure aimed at children aged 8 to 12 years old. The data of this research included political news texts selected by directional sampling from the French-language magazine "1jour1actu". The findings show that news texts with the Hourglass Style structure have the following components: "Title"; "Lead"; "Lead"; "Nut graf"; "Key paragraph"; "Subtitles"; "Body"; "Background"; "The Turn"; "Beginning" / "Middle"; "End". These components fulfill one of the functions - to attract or hold the reader's attention, to inform, to influence, which are interlaced with each other. Using this method, the journalist tries to keep the young reader's attention throughout the news text, which contains a lot of additional information, so that he or she can better understand the sociopolitical issue addressed in the article. Also for this age group, the journalist can add to the news text with the "Hourglass Style" structure a video that contains animated illustrations and captions together with audio that either repeats the printed version of the news text, or is one of its structural components, or provides additional information in chronological order according to the "Pyramid" structure. The identified observations indicate that news texts with the Hourglass Style structure are informative. These texts are informative and expand children's knowledge.
