Abstract. The article deals with a problem of gender mainstreaming in the journalist training process. New journalism, free of gender stereotypes, has to begin with the training of journalists free of gender stereotypes. One of the gender mainstreaming methods is gender awareness raising, aimed at increasing general gender sensitivity and improving knowledge of gender equality. The purpose of the article is to analyse the ways of rising gender awareness in the domestic system of journalism education. In Ukraine, the introduction of a gender perspective into education is gaining momentum. The results of an empirical study on gender awareness of first and second-year students of specialty “Journalism” (Faculty of Humanities and Pedagogy, National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine) are given. The results of the student survey revealed the insufficient understanding of gender issues and the rigidity of gender-based images of men and women, indicating a need for raising gender awareness among students. It would be possible with mainstreaming of a gender perspective into journalism education at the institutional level, integrating special courses or modules on gender in journalist training programs.
