Abstract

The Press related Energy including nuclear energy has social responsibility that it should pass the scientific factors to the right. It is essential to ensure the accuracy and fairness. The general public, such as press releases and information obtained through indirect communication affects social acceptance of nuclear power, which is used to determine the direction of energy policy, the most important factor to be taken into account. Recent rapid increase coverage of NPP lose in balance of nuclear power plants. In this study the qualitative interviews were performed with the workers who stand directly in obtaining information about nuclear related organizations. By E-mail and FGI the data were collected from the workers' perception about domestic nuclear news. They perceived the NPP news that the negative aspects of nuclear power plants were too much dealt in nuclear news coverage, and risk of NPP is only exaggerated and distorted, the lack of expertise knowledge on nuclear power and recognize that the cause was a lack of understanding. 'Nuclear mah' for the event were aware that should dig more thoroughly. The Journal of Digital Policy & Management.

본 연구는 최근 급격히 늘어난 국내 원전 보도의 불균형성에 대한 비판을 문제의식으로 하여 원전에 대한 정보를 직접적으로 얻는 유관기관 종사자들과 심층인터뷰를 통해 국내 원전 보도에 대하여 어떻게 인식하고 있는지 파악했다. 원전에 대한 논의에서 당사자적 입장을 갖는 이들은 원전보도가 원자력에 대한 부정적 측면만 편중보도하고 있으며, 위험에 대해서만 과장되고 왜곡된 보도를, 전문지식의 부족으로 원전에 대한 몰이해를 유발하고 있다고 인식하고 있었다. '원전 비리' 사건에 대해서는 더욱 철저히 파헤쳐야 한다고 인식하고 있었다. 이로서 선정적이고 위협적 소구에 편중된 프레임을 초월하는 균형 잡힌 원전보도를 위해 저널리즘적 성찰과 경계에서 나아가 과학적 전문 지식의 점검, 에너지 영역 전문 기자 양성 등 과학보도에 대한 정책적 변화의 필요성을 촉구했다.
