Özet:

As part of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, governments have taken decisions that will deeply affect people's economic and social lives. These decisions have caused the habitual order to be replaced by a new order and new habits. This situation also enabled a rapid increase in digitalization processes. This rapid change affected the media sector and also transformed people's habits of communication. In this direction, the main purpose of the study is to examine the changes undertaken by the pandemic order in Kastamonu local press since March 2020, when the Covid-19 pandemic began to be seen in our country. It is thought that the study will be important in terms of reflecting the situation of the Kastamonu local press during the Covid-19 pandemic. The "in-depth interview" method was chosen, and the study was carried out through interviews with the managers of local newspapers (Nasrullah, Gündem, Sözcü, Açıksöz, Doğrusöz and Kastamonu) still operating in Kastamonu. In-depth interviews were conducted in a semi-structured manner, to preserve consistency and details.
