The Digital Transformation of Local Media: A Case Study of Print and Online Journalism in Yozgat

Öz

This study examines the effects of the digitalization process on the local press. The research compares news production and content differences between the print and online editions of local newspapers, revealing the transformations brought about by new media technologies in local journalism. The study was conducted based on the case of Yozgat, a medium-sized city in Anatolia, and illustrates the trends in the digitalization process of local media. The data set consists of the print editions of six newspapers published in central Yozgat between February 1-15, 2024, and news items published on their websites. Both quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods were employed; the category, source, scope, headline characteristics, and use of audiovisual elements in news items were systematically coded. According to the findings, digitalization increases news diversity and the use of audiovisual content, strengthening the local emphasis in headlines. However, the abundance of agency-sourced content limits editorial originality. Significant differences were found between print and digital newspapers in terms of the number of news items, scope, and content. Furthermore, it was observed that local newspapers are unable to take full advantage of technological opportunities and remain limited, particularly in terms of interaction and multimedia use. The research examines the digitalization process in local media through a current case study, contributing to the academic literature on the digital transformation of the Anatolian press and offering recommendations for practical application.
