Training of Journalists for Professional Practice in Arts Television
Abstract
The study aims to demonstrate the importance of fostering creative perception among students in higher education as part of journalism training, as a foundation for their future professional practice in arts television.
Research methodology. The research employs analysis and synthesis to examine academic literature, curricula, educational and professional programs, and higher education standards. The generalization method was applied to formulate conclusions regarding journalists’ competencies.
Results. The study identifies current and required reforms in the educational process of higher education institutions in the «Journalism» specialty. It highlights the digitalisation of the media landscape and the importance of digital and visual media literacy. The impact of the Russian-Ukrainian war on the adaptability of the educational process is also identified. The findings emphasise the interdisciplinary nature of journalism training for arts television, driven by the diversity of knowledge and competencies provided by different specialties, namely «Journalism» and «Audiovisual Arts and Production».
Novelty. The novelty of the study lies in the analysis of journalist training for professional practice in arts television and in the integration of relevant knowledge, skills, and competencies into the educational process.
Practical significance. The proposed recommendations can be applied to improve educational and professional programs for training of journalists for professional practice in arts television. The findings may be used to develop instructional materials. For students, the results can support the development of individual professional pathways and enhance their understanding of soft and hard skills, thereby increasing their competitiveness in the labour market.
Key words: education and training, journalist, competencies, professional realization, arts television, digitalization.
