The article discusses the issues of classification of materials of the media in Uzbekistan on environ-mental topics, analyzes the state of environmental journalism in the republic and identifies shortcom-ings in the presentation of environmental information and its impact on the formation of environmental thinking of the population.
The author of the study revealed and analyzed the shortcomings of the theoretical base on the prob-lems of media coverage of environmental problems, highlight the typology of environmental journalism in Uzbekistan, consider the problems of forming the ecological culture of the population through the
media. And also to determine the role of environmental journalism in Uzbekistan in the international information space ..
The scientific novelty of the article is the study of the issue in the context of the structural and func-tional analysis of the development of environmental journalism in Uzbekistan, as well as the typology of materials on environmental topics, which determines the novelty of scientific research.
The practical significance of the research lies in the fact that the author classified journalistic ma-terials on environmental topics in the context of the actualization of environmental problems in Central Asia. Also, this work is one of the first works in Russian, where the main problems of environmental journalism in Uzbekistan are identified. According to the author, there is a need to study journalistic materials in two key aspects: identifying the degree of coverage of the environmental problem according to the typology created by the author, as well as the role of the media in organizing educational work in the field of ecology.
The author shows the degree of coverage in the media of environmental problems in the country. The study revealed that topics such as water and water use, waste, tree felling, ecological culture of the population are widely covered, which cannot be said about the global problem of climate change, land degradation, air pollution, etc. It should be noted that environmental problems of Uzbekistan affect not only the welfare of the people, but also relations with neighboring states. For example, the water policy of the Central Asian republics requires Uzbekistan to solve problems associated with it at the interna-tional level. Therefore, the analysis of these issues is conceptually important.
The main results of the research are the analysis of quantitative indicators of journalistic materials on environmental topics. As a result of the study, it was revealed that there is no consistency, genre and thematic diversity in the presentation of environmental information in the media. The expediency of ecological specialization in training journalists is recommended.
Key words: ecology, Uzbekistan, climate change, Aral Sea, UN, mass media.
