The study deals with the idea of linking journalism to urbanism within the practice of cultural content production and seeing how this can work in shaping urban space. The place of regional media in the communication system (vertical and horizontal) between different groups of citizens is analyzed at the present stage. In the study a descriptive method was used, as well as traditional general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, when considering specific aspects of the functioning of journalism within an urbanized environment and analyzing specific materials on cultural topics. A content analysis method was used to validate the sample, which was able to track the array of materials on the Book Space theme in Dnipro. The study showed that national and local media produce cultural content in different forms and genres and are generally interested in events that contribute to the positive development of urban space, especially when considering urbanism not only as a method of territorial organization but also as an element of working with people. Publications on cultural events, such as Book Space, add to the formation of the inner and outer image of the city, help to shape the cultural self-identification of the townspeople. It was also found out that local media content is more informative than the one from the national media, and publications on the information web-sites can often be characterized by poor quality of content, which in the long run may impede the harmonious development of the urban environment. The novelty of the article can be explained by the fact that the study of urban science through the lens of journalism is represented very little, which is of scientific interest to this topic. The results of the study can be used while taking into consideration the image formation of the city and brand strategy building as well as shaping successful urban space and its cultural area.
