Abstract:
On the basis of new experimental data, the present paper was
aimed at analyzing the effectiveness of training journalism students through the
use of blogs. This study included a field survey, during which the impressions
of journalism students from the introduction of blogging in the educational process were analyzed. The examination involved 71 undergraduate journalism
students of two Russian and two Kazakhstan universities. Innovative teaching
strategies were introduced in the training process of mentioned institutions, and
the corresponding methods of conducting specialized classes were developed.
The experimental data confirmed several hypotheses related to the effectiveness
of blogging in journalism education. The practical significance of the obtained
results lies in the fact that the proposed approach allows the effective implementation of blogs in journalism training.
