As in almost every part of the world, the issue of "Public Space" and "Private Space" is constantly discussed in our country. This situation is also frequently discussed in the media. This issue, which was also discussed in the traditional media (newspapers, radio and television), has been further fuelled by the emergence of the "Internet", which we call New Media, the addition of Social Media in the following years and the emergence of "Citizen Journalism" in recent years. In recent years, 'Drone Journalism' has also been added to these debates, which have been brought to the judiciary from time to time. While many news agencies and media organisations use drones to report news, Citizen Journalists also use drones to film everything and use it on their social media sites. In addition to these, some Communication faculties in our country have also opened a "Drone Journalism" Department. The "Public Space, Private Space" debate, which has been going on for many years and which has become insurmountable, has turned into an insurmountable situation, namely "Violation of Privacy" with "Drone Journalism". In addition to some benefits and conveniences that Drone Journalism provides to the media, it is often seen that it violates private life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Hyperlocal journalism that was the first used in 2004 is a type of journalism in which the news of communities in a small town or neighborhood is conveyed by citizens within a media outlet. In hyperlocal journalism, local people can produce and broadcast news as well as being the source of the news. One of the main features of hyperlocal journalism differentiates from local media is positive news production. Hyperlocal journalism is a promising model to the relationship between readers and media. Reaching small communities that cannot find a place in the media contributes to the formation of a new news network and to the expansion. The aim of the study is to describe positive and negative aspects of hyperlocal journalism to the local press. Adana local press is taken as a sample in the study. Qualitative research is conducted using the semi-structured interview method. In the research, it is concluded that hyperlocal journalism would diversify the news content, increase the circulation, citizen journalism would become more systematic, and all these would make significant contributions to the local press. Another result of the research is that in order to make these positive contributions, first of all, the readers should be educated, and economic support is needed for this. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
