The Journalism Olympiad is still very young - as an independent Olympiad, it appeared among other subject Olympiads of the Interregional Olympiad for schoolchildren “Highest Standard” only in 2013. At the same time, we already had considerable experience in holding Olympiad competitions for schoolchildren in journalism. Previously, journalism competitions were held as a separate Olympiad profile within the framework of the Interregional Multidisciplinary Olympiad for Schoolchildren. In 2009-2010 Schoolchildren could take part in competitions in the field of “journalism” within the framework of the Interregional Multidisciplinary Olympiad for Schoolchildren in the Humanities and Social Sciences, but after changes in the structure of the Olympiad in 2011, competitions for schoolchildren in journalism were not held for two years. The break is not so long that many years of experience were lost, so despite the youth according to the “passport”, the Olympiad in Journalism already has many interesting ideas and well-deserved successes. In 2015, the Olympiad was included in the List of Olympiads for schoolchildren, approved by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation, having received, according to experts of the Russian Council of Olympiads for Schoolchildren, the highest first level. Let us also note that this is the first Olympiad in the country that declared exclusively journalism as its subject field.
The goal of the Olympiad is to give schoolchildren who are focused on obtaining a journalistic profession an opportunity to compete in a difficult but exciting competition and experience the joy of a well-deserved victory. The developers of the Olympiad tasks see their task as making the Olympiad a real creative competition, providing every student with the joy of fair intellectual competition. To do this, it is important not only to offer exciting, non-standard tasks and interesting essay topics that provide an opportunity to demonstrate unconventional thinking and independent creativity, but also to ensure that the tasks are appropriate for the age of the participants.
An independent, objective assessment of each work is provided by members of the jury - attentive and friendly judges who examine each text based on clear criteria and professional canons. The methodological commission and jury include well-known theorists and practitioners of journalism. Among them are journalist, analyst in the field of modern media, professor at the Higher School of Economics Anna Kachkaeva, professor at the Higher School of Economics, journalist and researcher Svetlana Shomova and many other masters of journalism.
The Olympics takes place in two stages. At the first stage, which is carried out in absentia, participants are offered twenty test tasks (questions) of various types. Those who pass the second, full-time, stage must write an essay on one of the proposed topics. In their work, the participant must demonstrate an understanding of the topic, knowledge of its context, mastery of style, the ability to navigate the laws of composition, and general literacy. The range of issues that are touched upon by the topics of the Olympiad is wide and is designed not just for an erudite person, but also for those who are focused on acquiring the journalistic profession and who understand its essence.

The Lomonosov Olympiad in journalism, which is organized by Rossiyskaya Gazeta, Radio Russia and the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University, starts on November 23. Dean of the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University, professor, corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Education Elena Vartanova told RG about what “surprises” await its participants and what “digit” the journalism department is going to.
Elena Leonidovna, for 15 years we have been looking for talented guys who dream of becoming a journalist. This year the conditions of the Olympiad have become more stringent. Why?
Elena Vartanova: Previously, students in grades 5 to 9 had more time to complete assignments. Now the rules are the same for everyone: both primary schoolchildren and 11th graders are given two online correspondence tours of three days each. During this time, participants must write a journalism test and a creative essay. In my opinion, the new rules will allow us to select the best prepared and most motivated. After all, winning the Olympics gives them very serious benefits. The best of the best enter the journalism department without exams (provided they pass the Unified State Exam in Literature with at least 75 points), and the winners “automatically” receive the maximum score for the creative competition - the entrance test at the faculty.
Another important news: the online portal of the Lomonosov Olympiad has received a more friendly and convenient interface. Undoubtedly, it will be easier for schoolchildren to work in it.
When will the guys be able to go live?
Elena Vartanova: In February - March, the in-person stage will take place at Moscow State University. The winners of the online tour will write creative works on interdisciplinary topics. Last year's original assignment was "Report from Pugachev's headquarters." On the one hand, this is a test of knowledge of literature, on the other hand, the ability to think and write like a journalist. If we recruit a sufficient number of participants from the regions, then perhaps we will organize an in-person tour for them at the sites of flagship universities in the Urals and Siberia. Then the intellectual competition will continue live on the radio. The guys will have to answer a variety of, and even tricky, questions from teachers and journalists.
Elena Vartanova: With the advent of bloggers, with the development of “fake news” and post-truth, the role of quality journalism is increasing. In the world of big data, it is a professional journalist who will guide the reader through the “information noise.” The printed newspaper will retain its uniqueness and will always be in demand. This is not a forecast, this is a real request from the audience.
In general, it does not matter what the platform for broadcasting content will be. Yes, news is already “tied” to the screens of smartphones and computers, yes, social networks have become the “entry point” to the media. The main thing is that the information in the media remains reliable.
Is the Faculty of Journalism also going digital?
Elena Vartanova: Digital children become digital students. We are launching new educational practices. For example, “Quest instead of lecture”, which tests knowledge in a game format using modern media technologies. We introduce team-based, project-based learning using examples from student media. This is a trend that came to us at the suggestion of employers.
News is already “tied” to the screens of smartphones and computers, and social networks have become the “entry point” to the media
The request of large companies is this: a journalism graduate must be able to work in the context of real editorial practices and standards, and quickly coordinate their actions with colleagues. At the same time, he must have a fundamental basis that allows him to comprehend the information and give a detailed commentary on it. We are developing new types of media: there is a portal "Journalist-online" with popular "long reads", there is a channel "Mokhovaya, 9" on You Tube with news and talk shows, there are groups on social networks and digital photo projects...
"Radio Russia" And Faculty of Journalism, Moscow State University named after M.V. Lomonosov together with "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" conducts the qualifying stage of the Lomonosov Olympiad for schoolchildren in a range of subjects "Journalism".
Those who successfully pass all stages of the qualifying tests will will be able to enter the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University as winners and prize-winners of school Olympiads!
Students of secondary educational institutions implementing secondary general education programs can take part in the Olympiad (students of grades 5-11 of secondary schools, students of colleges and vocational schools who entered them after graduating from the 9th grade).
The final part of the competition consists of two stages - written and oral.
Regional sites are not provided. You can take part in the face-to-face stage only in Moscow.
The written round will take place March 1, 2014 at the Faculty of Journalism of Moscow State University and will consist of assignments in journalism, literature and foreign language.
