THE ISSUE OF PERSONNEL IN THE SOVIET PRESS

After the Bolsheviks came to power in 1918, the Soviet government paid great attention to training its personnel, especially in the press. Since there were no other "forces" working in the press, young journalists with experience were initially involved in press work. In the second half of the 1920s, many of them were accused of "propagating the national bourgeois press and opinion" and were expelled from the press. The training of new personnel began with the compulsory involvement of government and party members in press work. At the first congress of press workers in 1920: "Everywhere, parties, trade unions and other organizations are now creating literary collegiums; in the center and in the neighborhoods, the Soviets and party officials are forced to regularly correspond with newspapers.", was given, after which it became mandatory for each organization to have its own correspondent. In 1924: “On this Saturday, September 27, all our correspondents in the old and new Tashkent and Tashkent district are required to come to the “Turkiston” office and register themselves. All factions, councils, trade union organizations and cells, communes, associations, enterprises, joint organizations, schools and others are requested to appoint correspondents from among themselves and send them to the office at the time indicated above”, From the advertisement in the newspaper, it is clear that the task of training permanent correspondents for the newspaper was set for each organization. That is, in providing press personnel, representatives of government agencies were used, first of all.
