Abstract

This paper analyzed the recommendation stories in the online journalism on the user's news choice by college students in two ways. One way is recommendation stories, and the other one is their arrangement and the index of use. From the results of the analysis, 7 out of 11 types of recommendation stories had positive effects on selecting news stories, while the 4 other types had little effect. Most of the recommendation stories that had little effect on the user's news selection were 'comments' or 'things' related to tweets' on SNS. The arrangements of new stories and the searched keywords had some effects on the user's news choice but had no effect on the index of use. In addition, the hours of using news stories and the types of recommendation stories were mostly correlated with each other. Consequently, formal factors, such as the arrangement of news stories and the recommendation stories of online journalism, had positive effects on the user's news selection, as well as headlines and keywords of news stories.

본 연구는 온라인 저널리즘의 추천기사가 대학생들의 뉴스기사 선택에 미치는 영향을 두 차원에서 분석하였다. 하나는 추천기사이고, 다른 하나는 이들 뉴스기사의 배치순위와 이용지수이다. 분석결과 11개의 추천기사 유형 중 7개 유형은 뉴스기사 선택에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면, 4개 유형은 유의미하지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 뉴스기사 선택에 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 나타난 추천기사 유형의 대부분은 댓글이나 SNS의 트윗과 관련된 것들이다. 또한 뉴스기사 및 검색어 배치순위는 뉴스기사 선택에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으나 이용지수는 영향을 미치지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 뉴스기사 이용시간과 추천기사 유형 간 그리고 추천기사 유형 간 상관관계는 대부분 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 분석결과를 종합하면, 뉴스기사 게재위치와 온라인 저널리즘의 추천기사와 같은 형식적 요인은 뉴스기사 헤드라인과 검색어 등의 내용과 더불어 뉴스 이용자들의 뉴스기사 선택에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 결론지을 수 있다.
