In recent years, examples of a new field called urban journalism have started to appear on various websites. This field, which is different from local and community journalism, is still developing so its definition and scope are not clear. The global dimension of urbanization and the problems it raises play an important role in the emergence of this field. In addition, the use of digital technologies in the field of journalism has important effects on the development of new types of journalism. The aim of this article is to try to understand and explain the general framework and basic features of urban journalism, which has not yet been sufficiently discussed in academic literature. In this framework, the scope and basic characteristics of urban journalism are examined through the example of Cities, a publication of The Guardian newspaper.
