This paper is based on the results of the first stage of the complex project “The Structure of a Russian Radio Journalist's Work in the Digital Environment”. The study is focused on the process of creating the editorial product. The authors examined the style and formats of information presentation and genre priorities of staff members of all-news and news/talk radio stations. The study was conducted through an e-mail survey. The respondents were reporters and managing editors in the news departments of all-news and news/talk radio stations. In November-December 2017, 58 people were surveyed. The sample was thoroughly controlled: one radio station was allowed to delegate no more than 8 respondents. The technique chosen for the survey was reconstruction. The respondents were asked to recall the past working week (or just a day, depending on the schedule) indicating how many stories of which genres they had done. The results of the study showed that the genre most popular with those working at the radio stations under consideration is unoriginal news (the so-called “rewrite”), the second best is original breaking news and the third place is occupied by exclusive news. It was also found that most of the surveyed managing editors tend to combine their administrative function with creative activities.
