Abstract
The article deals with the specifics of the formation of socio-cultural stereotypes and their use in newspapers and magazines to manipulate the reader in order to obtain a predetermined result. Under the influence of the stereotype a person perceives a message without thinking, without critical analysis. On this basis, the media have a tendency to reduce real social problems to simplified and easy-to-understand statements. A course in rhetoric helps aspiring journalism students develop the skills to express their position in the Word.
