To achieve this goal, a number of tasks were performed: the publications of the author under study were identified and systematized, their problematic and thematic component and author's style were analyzed. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time his personality as a journalist, which has not been the subject of a separate study, was systematically analyzed, the special features of O. Shevchukevych's journalistic activity through the prism of the Chernivtsi daily «Chas» were identified, and a register of publications by him found on the pages of the newspaper, most of which were not in scientific circulation, was compiled.
