Abstract

This article is devoted to the analysis of the role of Word Art and its social significance in the genre of journalistic inquiry. The power of the word has been reflected throughout history as a decisive tool in changing societies. It is journalistic inquiry that, using this powerful tool, plays a large role in revealing facts and communicating important problems to the public. This article delves into the methodology, main goals of journalistic inquiry and its impact on society. The article provides information in three main areas: 1. The essence of journalistic inquiry: the processes of collecting, analyzing and presenting facts in an impressive way are highlighted, the main factors that make up inquiry. It is especially emphasized that the purpose of the journalist is to restore social justice and reveal hidden facts. 2. The importance of the art of speech: the use of artistic image tools in the survey allows you to animate the text, attract the attention of the reader and attract it emotionally. The role of storytelling methods, artistic means and emotional impact are explained by specific examples. 3. The social role of journalistic inquiry: with an emphasis on issues such as corruption, environmental issues, human rights, the role and future of journalism in the restoration of reality is addressed. The article provides instructions on the creative approaches necessary for the successful application of the art of speech in a journalistic survey, as well as on the improvement of writing techniques. In this, students find themselves answers to the following questions: How is journalistic inquiry carried out? When and what influence does the art of speech bring? How does the text of the survey strengthen its influence on the reader? The results of this study are useful for journalists, literati and researchers interested in social problems, helping them to gain a deeper understanding of the social responsibility of the art of speech and inquiry. This article can also act as an important guide for all readers interested in journalistic inquiry
