Students work on portrait TV stories in the context of European values
Abstract
The article discusses the specifics of students’ work on portrait stories in practical and laboratory classes in TV journalism. The study of the peculiarities of creating materials in the stated genre is considered in the context of European integration processes within the media and education. The authors relied on theoretical research by scholars who focused on analyzing portrait interviews and television stories. The purpose of the study was to outline the technologies for creating one’s own media product in the context of European values, including respect for human dignity, freedom, as well as democracy. The scientific problem is considered in two dimensions. Firstly, future TV journalists themselves are guided by the values outlined above. Secondly, the characters in the TV stories «work» to strengthen and implement values by reflecting on topics from their personal and public lives. One of the authors’ tasks was to demonstrate a two-sided media production approach. Another task is to highlight the technologies of creating a portrait story in view of the challenges that require adaptation and reconsideration of the experience of the Ukrainian school of TV journalism. An important point in mastering the topic is to analyze the achievements of media professionals since the 1990s. A critical analysis of samples of portrait interviews and TV stories from different periods helps to comprehend the evolution of the genres. However, the value framework of media content during this period has been humanism. Therefore, it is primarily about direct articulation and focus on the values that unite the European community. Implementing the educational potential of television, students find and show heroes with whom the viewer already shares values or discovers new horizons in their worldview. The cooperation of students and teachers in its multi-stage nature covers the entire process of creating a portrait TV story, which is outlined in the article.
