Abstract

The problem of analysis is that the rapid development of mobile journalism transforms the tools and, thus, changes the approaches to the implementation of the work of the media. The rise of the popularity of mobile applications can be a platform for the development of mobile radio journalism as a professional environment, as well as a place where the thoughts of active listeners are accumulating. The purpose of the study is to outline the genre varieties of mobile radio journalism and to distinguish the types of positioning of information that are most often used by authors of various content. The research methods: monitoring for the identification of available and perspective innovative samples of the genre palette of modern mobile radio journalism; typology of the approach to the distribution of program content; descriptive method aimed at well-grounded presentation of the research results; methods of comparison and analogy. The research results: the author has analyzed approaches to the classification of genres of mobile journalism in the field of radio broadcasting by L. Seikass and M. Goodes, S.S. Sanchez, L. Shesterenkina and M. Bulayeva; the author also outlined the views on the formation of the mediaecho as a prerequisite for the manifestation of mediaactivism in radio journalism by F. Berardi. The research also presents the most promising genres of mobile radio journalism which are audio-podcasts, audio-streaming, audio-text transcription, posting / reposting, chat, synopsis, audio visualization, audio slideshows. The conclusions: The author argues that the most rational is the classification of the content of radio stations distributed in mobile applications into unique journalistic content, user content and mediaecho which is an information wave that is a response to previous messages as well as to itself.
