Abstract: In the digital era, both the news media and media educators don't have an appropriate formula to resist 'politics of resentment ' (Fukuyama, 2018), fake news, and populism.In order to understand, how students perceive populism messages, a news creation experiment was conducted.Students of the journalism department (Odesa University) were asked to find newsworthy phrases for a headline, lead, and a background in an excerpt about Trump's speech.Such news values as aggression, conflict, and crime influenced students' quotes choice for a headline / lead, meanwhile, the students were able to recognize 'positive' populism about wages, new jobs, etc.However, negative stereotypes, aggressive and frightening phrases remain effective in political communication.In background creation, some students were guided by the Trump speech frames and didn't seek alternative positions.
