Abstract

This study searched and analyzed news and information on the Korea-U.S. Summit to explore which political agenda is spreading among Korean newspapers and social media. The result of the analysis revealed that, on the one hand, the conservative-leaning newspaper, Chosunilbo, covered the unresolved issue between two countries. The principal source of news was the opposition party. On the other hand, the progressive-leaning newspaper, Kyunghany Sinmun, highlighted President Moon's visit to the United States and described the visit to the United States as an achievement. In this paper, the principal source of news is the ruling party. Both conservative and the progressive newspapers did not present a negative view of the United States. In the case of Chosunilbo, it mentioned that foreign policy priority of President Biden is human rights in North Korea. If the two countries do not solve this issue, the relationship between Korea and the United States will not develop further. Second, I searched YouTube videos about the Korea-U.S. summit and conducted a network analysis to understand the influence of YouTube videos and explore their relationship the each other. The results of the analysis revealed that the 10 most influential videos portrayed the Moon government positively. These videos held the achievement of the visit to the United States in highly esteem and framed it positively, similarly to the progressive newspaper.

한국 언론과 소셜미디어에서 한미관계와 관련해 어떤 의제가 확산하는지 알아보기 위해 한미정상회담 관련 뉴스와 정보에 대해 의미연결망 분석과 네트워크 분석을 했다. 분석 결과, 보수 성향의 조선일보는 문대통령의 방미 성과를 과소평가했다. 조선일보의 주요 정보원은 야당이었다. 반면, 진보 성향의 경향신문은 문대통령의 방미를 강조하고, 방미 성과를 성공적이라고 평가했다. 경향 신문의 주요 정보원은 여당이었다. 보수, 진보 언론 모두 미국에 대해서는 비판적인 입장을 드러내지 않았다. 조선일보는 바이든 정부의 우선적 외교정책으로 북한 인권을 언급했고, 양국이 이 문제를 해결해야 한미관계가 발전적으로 나아갈 수 있다고 전망했다. 다음으로 뉴스검색 채널 역할을 하는 유튜브에서 한미정상회담 관련 동영상을 검색하고 영향력이 있는 동영상을 찾기 위해 네트워크 분석을 했다. 분석 결과, 영향력 상위 영상들은 정부에 호의적이었으며, 진보 성향의 신문과 마찬가지로 문대통령의 방미 성과를 높이 평가하고, 긍정적으로 전달했다.
