Inna Osipova is a Russian television correspondent for the NTV television company. This brave and desperate girl never looks for easy ways, but on the contrary, always strives "to the front line", where people have problems and need help, and sometimes even where bullets whistle and shells explode. Inna Osipova is a real professional, a reporter in the classical sense of the word.
Childhood. Choice of profession
Childhood, adolescence and early youth of Inna Vitalievna Osipova are associated with the Siberian region. She was born on May 28, 1977 in the small settlement of Shaltyrak, lost in the taiga expanses of the Kemerovo region. Soon the family moved to the Siberian city of Novokuznetsk, the center of the metallurgical and coal mining industries. In Novokuznetsk, Inna studied at a secondary school, where she did not particularly like to write essays on literature: all the students simply rewrote the prefaces to the works of the school curriculum in their own way. According to Osipova's memoirs, she did not even know how to speak coherently. Nevertheless, having once watched a plot about some brave reporter on TV, I decided that journalism was her destiny.
A few years later, after finishing the 9th grade, the problem of choosing further education arose: in an experimental journalism class at the First Humanities Lyceum or in an economic lyceum. Being a journalist is prestigious, the profession of an economist will ensure prosperity in the family … Inna chose journalism and did not regret her decision. Having passed a competitive selection from 6 people for a place, Osipova entered the journalism class due to the fact that she wrote a very original introductory essay on the topic "Life after death", describing in detail how she imagines it. Young journalists were trained under the patronage of the Kuznetsky Rabochy newspaper, the most popular newspaper in the city. Several articles written by Inna were published in this newspaper, for which the journalist is grateful to the editorial board to this day.
In those years, Osipova did not even think about working on television. After graduating from the Lyceum, she, along with her three friends, left her native Novokuznetsk and went to Yekaterinburg, where the next significant period of her life passed. The girl entered the faculty of print journalism at the Ural State University.
During her studies at USU, she worked as an advertising agent, wrote articles for local newspapers under various pseudonyms. And in the second year, there was an incident that forever linked the girl with television: she argued with a classmate that she could just get on television, without any cronyism or patronage, or rather, on the channel 4, popular in Yekaterinburg. Osipova prepared a very problematic story about a man who “excused” conscripts from service in Chechnya for free, and brought it to the editorial office. The plot was shown on TV, the girl was noticed and gradually began to be invited to cooperate. So her television career began.
At the Faculty of Journalism, Inna met many people who later became her colleagues on television, and on federal channels; Tacitly it is believed that Yekaterinburg is a kind of “forge of personnel” for Russian television: many specialists who received education here and worked on local TV channels later moved to Moscow for Central Television. They are even sometimes jokingly called the “Ural diaspora”.
Television work
Inna Osipova began working as a reporter for the news programs of the Yekaterinburg Channel 4. When she was already in her 4th year, the management of the NTV channel invited her for an internship in Moscow, after which Osipova became the so-called stringer of NTV - a freelance correspondent who reports from hot spots. In parallel, she also worked for the Yekaterinburg television company Studio-41, in which in 2002 Osipova was awarded the prize in the category “Best Information Journalist” at the annual ball of the Ural mass media.
1999 is one of the most significant years in the biography of Inna Osipova. Firstly, she received a higher education - she graduated from the Faculty of Journalism of the Ural State University. Secondly, she got married and gave birth to a daughter. While Inna was on maternity leave, an NTV correspondent office was created in Yekaterinburg, and Osipova was offered to join it. Inna, who admits that she does not remember the dates well, forever remembered the day of June 1, 2003, when she was enrolled in the staff of NTV as a correspondent, and then as director of the NTV channel branch in the city of Yekaterinburg.
For ten years - from 2003 to 2013 - Inna Vitalievna Osipova headed the Ural branch of NTV. Over the years, she has made a huge number of reports on a wide variety of events - funny and sad, dramatic and tragic. She made a great contribution to the development of Russian television, for which on June 27, 2007, by order of President V. V. Putin was awarded the 2nd degree medal "For Merit to the Fatherland".
In June 2013, Inna Osipova was transferred to work as an NTV correspondent in Moscow, where she still works in such programs as "Accents of the Week", "Today", "Results of the Day", "Results of the Week" and others. Osipova is in constant creative search. So, on the eve of New 2016, she tried herself in a new role, becoming, along with the "murzilka" Mikhail Bragin, the co-host of "Disco 80s" on NTV.
In the same 2016, Osipova acted as the author and director of the documentary "Children", which raises the incredibly complex and painful problem of child crime. It was for the disclosure of such socially important topics in the media that Inna Osipova was awarded the forum prize "The Best Social Projects of Russia" in 2018.
The principles of journalistic work of Inna Osipova
The main principle of the journalist and reporter Inna Osipova is “do no harm”. She is convinced that you should never show the faces and give the names of people, especially children, who may be harmed as a result of publicity. And during the coverage of tragic events, one must be as delicate and correct as possible, so as not to aggravate the already shocked state of people - the reporter must also be a psychologist.
It is important for a journalist to always remember that a particular reportage will certainly evoke a response from the governing structures and a certain resonance in society. Thus, even a small plot shown on television can change for the better (or for the worse) the lives of many people.
