The urgency of the investigated problem lies in the fact that the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education and the professional standard of a specialist in the field of journalism at the present stage of teaching prescribe mastery of theoretical and practical parts for university students. Meanwhile, the disciplines related to mastering the theoretical part are developed quite well, and the issues of organizing practice and independent work are solved by universities on an individual basis. Thus, universities geographically distant from megacities, when organizing educational practical work, face the problem of the lack of opportunities for students’ independent work due to the limited airtime allocated by regional media. Due to these circumstances, there is a need to work out practical recommendations for the organization of independent work of students whose area of training is 42.03.02 "Journalism". Thus, the purpose of the article is to analyze the organization of independent work of students in the areas of creative orientation. The study of the problem of organizing students’ independent work was carried out by analyzing the scientific literature in this field, as well as using the methods of interviewing and questioning students for the relevance of the independent work forms used by university teachers. As a result, it was revealed that the time restrictions determined by the curriculum do not allow students to develop sustainable professional skills in the creative areas of training. Students must gain the necessary knowledge and practical skills for professional activity themselves. Academic staff of universities successfully solves questions of theoretical education, but at the same time does not allow students to immerse themselves in the "full-length" process of journalist work because pedagogical theorists are not, as a rule, professional journalists, that is, they have no practical experience. Available practical and methodological manuals do not always meet the requirements of the rapidly developing creative profession as well. Hence, the main forms of independent work of students are determined, which will be aimed at the formation of professional competences of future journalists. Materials of the article may be interesting for the academic staff of universities, teachers of educational institutions, teachers of elective courses in journalism.
