Abstract
Introduction. Violation of journalistic standards in news programs of Ukrainian TV channels remains an urgent problem.
Relevance of the study. The purpose of the study is investigate compliance with the standards in the news programs TSN (Television Service of News) and Today.
Methodology. In this work we used such methods as content analysis (during the study of news releases), comparison, generalization.
Results. Thus, out of 46 analyzed TSN news stories on 1 + 1 TV channel, 17 revealed violations of professional journalistic standards. Most often, TSN violates the standard of reliability. Journalists very often: do not indicate the sources of information of the received facts (instead they say «it is reported that…», «they say…», etc.). In the TSN newscasts reporters often do not adhere to the standard balance of opinions and views. Journalists do not comment on the main participants in the events. The news on the 1 + 1 TV channel usually are covered as simply as possible so that each viewer understands, as well as promptly to maintain the relevance of information. In the program Today of the Ukraine TV channel a total of 40 stories in three newscasts were analyzed. In 19 of them we found noncompliance with professional standards. Journalists and presenters often violate standards of authenticity, separating facts from comments and assessments. The presenter in the studio uses evaluative judgments: «Artem, so what’s there? Without custody, I hope?», «Sensational investigation». In addition, violate the accuracy, completeness and simplicity. However, in each story there was operational information, because very often the news was covered in the form of live coverage.
Conclusions. The results of the work can be used by students and teachers for educational and research purposes and for further research.
