The pertinence of the study stems from the fact that it summarizes and systematizes the results of the experience of interaction between the core enterprise and the university, which can form the basis of methods for improving a jointly organized educational process. The purpose of the study is to identify the features of the functioning of the basic departments of journalism in general and to review the experience of cooperation of the Department of Journalism of Ogarev Mordovia State University and the State TV and Radio Company “Mordovia”.

The work summarizes the five-year cooperation of the Department of Journalism of Ogarev Mordovia State University and the core enterprise - a branch of the Federal State Unitary Enterprise GTRK Mordovia. The authors consider the areas of joint work and elaborate on the methodology for organizing laboratory classes, master classes and independent work for students in the television and radio company. The use of educational technologies that provide flexibility and individualization of the learning process is noted. The solutions to improve the training of competitive employees in the field of journalism are presented.
