Abstract
Today, the media around the world construct the modern media reality and play a key role in the processes of media globalization. In this regard, one of the important areas of international cooperation is the development of media and the creation of a common information space. In particular, the countries with developing economies that are part of the BRICS group entrust the mass media with the mission of strengthening mutual understanding between countries, developing cooperation in the political, economic and social spheres. One of the resources for achieving this goal, in our opinion, is higher education, which determines the quality of training future journalists. Therefore, the purpose of this article is a research analysis, suggesting the allocation of general and special in educational programs in journalism in high-ranking BRICS universities. The author provides a brief overview of the characteristics and problems of higher education in the countries of the "five". In the practical part, the websites of five high-ranking universities containing information on educational programs in journalism are analyzed. The analysis criteria include the mission of the department / faculty / school, educational objectives, features of bachelor's, master's and postgraduate programs, focus on international cooperation. The analysis revealed that higher journalism education at the selected universities strives to develop research in the field of media communications and prepare universal journalists capable of adapting to new socio-economic and technological conditions. At the same time, national characteristics and goals are preserved in educational programs. The number of educational programs in journalism is increasing and diversifying through the expansion of research in the field of media communications. There is an active integration of journalism education in the related fields of communications and media. At the same time, despite successful adaptation to globalization changes and readiness for international cooperation, journalism education in the BRICS countries retains national characteristics, offering alternative ways of developing professional journalism.
