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]

In this study, the changes in consumer culture and lifestyles within the framework of the projections of the transformations in Turkey's ecopolitical and cultural structure are analyzed with a critical political economy approach in the context of society magazines (Alem and Şamdan Plus). In the study, which also includes a distinct definition of community press and journalism, the ecopolitical structure of the Turkish media shaped by neo-liberal policies is questioned through society magazines. In the study, qualitative analysis method was adopted, and semistructured in-depth interviews and textual analysis techniques were used to collect the relevant data. In-depth interviews were conducted with three people from each magazine selected as the object of analysis. The interviewees were asked questions about the production dynamics and content of society magazines. In addition, a total of 32 issues (16 issues of Alem and 16 issues of Şamdan Plus) of the magazines from all the issues published in 2018 were selected as the object of analysis by using purposive sampling technique, and these issues were examined using textual analysis. The study concludes that society magazines play an important role in shaping and popularizing consumer culture and lifestyles in Turkey. It has been particularly determined that members of the upper class aim to reinforce the relatively privileged position and prestige of their social class by displaying their luxurious and ostentatious lifestyles through society magazines.

When it comes to journalism, one of the first branches that come to mind is investigative journalism. This profession, which is carried out by journalists who are curious, do not give up, read constantly and doubt, has good examples despite losing its value today. Investigative journalism, which has many examples in our country and in the world, also becomes the subject of cinema. The best example of this is Spotlight, which received six oscara nominations from the 88th Academy Awards for Best Film and Best Original Screenplay. Perhaps what makes Spotlight successful is that it is written and shot from a true story. The script is written at a level that celebrates investigative journalism, the actors work for the role, and the director sheds light on the characters. From the very first moments of the film, the audience learns investigative journalism through their own experience. This study examines investigative journalism, in which the principle of public interest is focused on, through Spotlight film. The method of reception is used in the study, which is evaluated in the context of the narrative structure of the film and the actors. The film is shown to a total of 20 people, 10 girls and 10 boys, who are students of the Journalism Department of the Faculty of Communication of Gümüşhane University. Then, questions are asked in the context of the film within the framework of investigative journalism and the principle of public interest. Explaining their ideas about investigative journalism through the Spotlight film, the participants provide important data for the study. At the end of the research, it is determined that they make sense of the concept of investigative journalism and public interest as in the literature, and try to look at the chapter they read from a different perspective thanks to the film.

Mobile journalism is an area of journalism that redefines ways of reaching news, news production patterns and the actors of journalism. Mobile journalism, which is briefly defined through the concept of mojo, is an increasingly prominent form of journalism that spreads to every moment of everyday life. Ever-evolving hardware and software of mobile devices, as well as connection speeds that make it possible to transfer data from one end of the world to another, are the key factors in the technical evolution of mobile journalism. As the traditional forms of journalism change with new technologies, a few forms of journalism, which shall be studied again, has emerged. Mobile journalism needs to be studied and examined in terms of journalism education, which has to adapt to the pace of change in journalism, and journalism as a commercial field in the context of transformation efforts. The instrumental terminology of mobile journalism is constantly evolving, and journalistic business models are trying to adapt this terminological change. The main purpose of this study is to show the effects of mobile journalism practices on news production / consumption processes and the dimensions that they bring to the journalism profession. In this research, the development process of mobile journalism practices has been examined through important examples; extensive literature search was preferred as the method. Significant developmental stages of mobile journalism have been addressed in research to systematically understand the transformation that mobile technologies have created on the actors of journalism. Mobile journalism has been evaluated over three key facts that have influenced journalism. As per these three basic facts, mobile journalism has been examined in terms of news production and circulation, news consumption and reader experience and conceptual change of journalism.
