The thesis analyzes interpretive journalism, particularly its structural and organizational factors. Relevance of the research topic. Journalism is often equated with a phenomenon that can produce lies, mislead the audience, does not help society solve social problems, and, on the contrary, creates even more problems. The professional disappointment of many journalists in their profession has led to the actualization of journalistic practice, which goes beyond certain norms and values of "objectivity" and "neutrality" inherent in so-called traditional journalism. Such influential journalistic practices as journalistic investigations, public / civil journalism, and the development of blogging as a model of authorial journalism have both supporters and critics. Different views on the methodology of providing content, the authorial honesty level, practicality, and the possibility of journalistic intervention in the description of the problem and its interpretation caused the fact that the role of the journalist, not just as an author but as a citizen turned into a conceptual issue of modern journalism. The object of research is the epistemology of interpretive journalism. The subject of the study is diachronic analysis, structural and organizational factors of interpretive journalism. The work aims to carry out a diachronic analysis and to reveal the structural and organizational factors of the epistemological features of interpretive journalism as a phenomenon of social communications, which can be conceptualized as a factor of constant provision of relevant information. The methodological basis of the research is general scientific methods. The key scientific method used during the analysis of epistemological problems of interpretive journalism was a synergistic approach to determining the role and place of interpretive journalism in social and communication processes. The processing of the research sources was based on applying the analytical-synthetic method. The application of the historical experience method is concerned with analyzing the functioning of the epistemology and interpretive journalism principles in the context of the historiography of the analyzed problem. The analytical method was used to reveal the typological factors of interpretive journalism. The inductive method made it possible to conduct a general analysis of existing points of view on the problem of interpretive journalism. The degree and level of intervention of the author of the journalistic text in the interpretation, explanation of the event, and direct appeals to perceive this event exactly as the journalist wants it, led to the emergence of such a phenomenon as interpretive journalism. The key goal of interpretive journalism is that it inherits a certain regulatory incentive when presenting content, determines the central priorities of interpreting an event, and the event itself as a starting point for viewing the problem as a whole. Interpretive journalism acts as a kind of program of journalistic news coverage, and supporters of interpretive journalism rely on a critical study of the current state of the problem. The analysis of interpretive journalism and its social embodiment has progressed during the last decades, especially in connection with the emergence and development of critical discourse analysis. Interpretive journalism works especially active in the time plane in analyzing the discourse of the problem and embodies key discursive social strategies. Interpretive journalism's semantics are based on analyzing various types of authors' stories and is presented based on a hierarchy of interpretive presumptions. According to this, the development of the interpretative, authorial form of expression in journalism is considered the result of an abductive reasoning scheme in which different types of plausibility collide. Interpretive journalism involves the dynamic expansion of technological possibilities of content transmission and constant interaction between the strategy and organization of work of media structures. Individual authors' media discourse and public opinion represent two parallel systems of construction of meaning. Various interpretive approaches to coverage events are a media discourse that serves as a context for understanding the specifics of public opinion formation. The level of demand for interpretive journalism reveals the degree of structural and organizational viability of the media structure.
