  • This study analyzed the reporting activities of journalists who covered MERS-CoV in 2015. Twenty-one reporters were interviewed to investigate their differences in reporting. They were categorized into four small groups based on their specialism and professionalism. Some specialist reporters answered that they acknowledged the first MERS patient through an external source. A few special reporters contacted foreign experts for further information and one of them answered that she read academic articles on MERS to verify governmental announcements. Specialist reporter groups and the other groups showed difference when they were asked the situation they felt something was going wrong in governmental communication: Many specialist reporters pointed out the outbreak of a patient from out of the monitoring people, but many general reporters emphasized the policy of the government not to reveal the name of hospitals that the outbreaks happened.

  • 신문 ㆍ방송 등 언론사가 재정적 위기에 처할 때마다 맨 먼저 내쫓기는 대열 속에는 어김없이 과학기자들이 포함된다. 결국 적격한 과학전문기자가 없거나 절대로 모자라 우리나라 과학저널리즘은 위기를 맞을 수 밖에 없다. 21세기를 앞두고 과학대중화를 통한 선진국으로의 도약발판이 하루빨리 마련되기를 기대한다.

  • 나는 몇개월 전 30여년 근무해 온 신문사에서 한달 안에 나가달라는 명예퇴직 통보를 받고 2년반 남은 정년을 앞당겨 회사를 그만두게 되었다. 그러나 나는 지난 30여년동안 과학기자로 참신한 기사를 발굴하고 보도해 온 일에 무한한 긍지와 자부심을 갖는다. 앞으로는 그동안 모아두었던 각종 자료를 정리하여 쓰고 싶었던 글을 마음껏 써 볼 계획이다.

  • 기자라면 누구나 특종기사를 쓰기 바라지만 그렇게 쉬운 일은 아니다. 특종기사는 크건 작건 국익이나 관련자에게 피해를 주는 경우가 많아 기자로서 고민을 하게될 때가 있다. 관계된 사람의 눈물 호소 앞에 첫 특종기사가 될 뻔한 것이 묻혀버린 적도 있었다. 재미있고 유익하되 피해자가 없는 과학기술 특종기사가 많았으면 한다.

  • The purpose of this study was to investigate how a science magazine played a role in filling the gap between scientists and the general public, and how it contributed to science popularization. We analyzed the linguistic features of the texts used in a science magazine. We used 12 articles (six written by journalists, and six written by scientists) from the Science Donga. Register analysis was conducted in order to define the linguistic features of the texts in terms of ideational meaning, interpersonal meaning and, textual meaning. Results of this study are as follows: (1) the articles written by journalists used a higher mental and verbal processes in which the conversations and thoughts of scientists were expressed. (2) Human agents were relatively explicit in the journalists' articles. However, they were implicit or omitted in the articles of scientists. (3) Interrogative sentences and inclusive imperative sentences, and even omissions were frequently found in the journalists' articles whereas scientists' articles mainly used declarative statements. (4) The clause density of journalist' articles and scientists' were similarly lower than that of science textbooks. (5) The information structure revealed by the patterns of Theme and Rheme that the journalists' articles used in science magazines was simpler than that of science textbooks, while the structure of scientists' articles was more complex than that of journalists'. Based on the linguistic features of the texts used in science magazines, we found that a science magazine contributes to science popularization in two faces: One is in that the articles of journalists present science contents in a way that the readers can follow with ease and feel well-acquainted. The other is that the modified articles of scientists help the general public get familiar with the culuture of science in terms of use of science language.
