Abstract
In the age of media convergence, this study intended to empirically examine the influences of entertainment programs on the formation of public opinion in Twitter using the case of the Healing Camp, an entertainment program of SBS, featured Cheol Soo Ahn, who was a presidential candidate. Through a content analysis this study was able to directly test how public opinion was developed in Twitter and also examine the dynamics in which the messages of traditional media influence the formation of public opinion in twitter by combining Twitter and actual contents of the TV program. The study is expected to contribute to expanding a scope of scholarly attention of social media.
