the article is devoted to the problem of psychological and pedagogical methodology that helps stimulate social interest in students during their professional training in the field of "Journalism and Media Communications". It was revealed that the most optimal methods for stimulating social interest in students majoring in journalism and media communications are creating a situation of success in the classroom, forming an environment of trust between the teacher and students, as well as the method of individual diagnostics of social interest and its formation. It is noted that the introduction of the project method into the educational process allows journalism students to develop such important skills as teamwork, creative thinking, and the ability to analytical perception. It is concluded that the advantages of developing social interest using the project method are the combination of active teaching methods, the use of a personal-activity component (learning through interest, motivation of students), a practice-oriented focus (gaining practical experience in solving problems related to the real context of professional activity), and a developmental component (development of professional and personal qualities of a specialist that form the basis of his modern competencies) of future specialists in the field of journalism and media communications.
