Abstract

The article considers the first steps of training professional journalists in the early XXth century in the Russian Empire. The aim of the investigation is to find out the conditions and features of creating courses for journalists in Moscow and Odesa (1905), to clarify the biographical and creative achievements of the founders of these centers of journalism education. The peculiarities of the functioning of the «scientific and practical courses for journalists» in Moscow (1905) under the guidance of Doctor of Criminal Law, lawyer, a native of Poltava region L. Vladimirov, as well as the courses of «practical newspaper technology» in Odesa (1905; editor, publisher and writer A. Rabinovych as the founder of these courses) were analyzed. Professor L. Vladimirov based his journalism curriculum on «systematic ethical and legal knowledge», necessary for the study and discussion of issues of public life in terms of writing a journalistic (publicistic) text. Аt the same time the editor-publisher A. Rabinovych (Chyvonibar) focused on the practical implementation of acquired knowledge, offering his students to bring their publications in the two consecutive newspapers – «Reporter» and «Odesskaya Zhizn / Odessa Life» (1906), where reports, notes, feuilletons, articles, essays of the journalists-beginners were published. There were students not only from Odesa and the nearest regions, but also from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Siberia and other cities and territories of Russia; they studied full-time and part-time, received a certificate of education and recommendations for work in press. The contribution of Professor L. Vladimirov (he studied at Kharkiv University, later worked here as private-docent, extraordinary and honored professor at the department of criminal law and judiciary), as well as editorial and publishing specialist A. Rabinovych (Chyvonibar) to the formation of professional journalism education is still little appreciated in Ukraine. The biographical and publishing aspects of A. Rabinovych's activity in Odesa and the functioning of his courses (probably existed until 1917) also are not clarified.
