과학기술이 우리의 생활에 큰 영향을 미치고 있는데도 우리나라엔 진정한 의미의 과학저널리즘이 없다. 한 일의 언론사들은 50-60년대 이미 전담부서를 두고 인력을 양성해 왔다 그러나 우리나의 언론사들은 과학에 대한 무지와 무관심으로 이미 설치한 전담부서마저 없애거나 다른 부서와 통합해 그 기능을 축소하고 있다. 과학기술발전은 일반대중이 지지기반이 없이는 불가능한데도 우리의 과학저널리즘이 이처럼 푸대접을 받아서야 되겠는가

There have been enormous social impacts on many areas, including science journalism, since the so-called "Hwang Woo Suk" incident. Although wide demand for better science journalism has been aroused since then, but it is hard to find an evidence to prove we have reached the point. This study examines how major Korean newspapers report Unidentified Flying Objects in order to test if the level of science journalism had been elevated. As results, still it is a long road ahead to achieve the goals because most reports were taken from the international news agents or from the witnesses rather than scientific researches and analyses; terminologies used in the stories were ambiguous; follow-up stories were rare, the sources were usually pseudo-scientific, wanton errors in basic facts and coherence, and other problems were found. It could be suggested that the dependency on supplied news to be reduced, journalists who understand both science and journalism are required, inner regulations on science reporting to be established, correct quotations and fact-checks to be accomplished, fairness to be maintained within the boundary of normal science.

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.

This paper proposes a noble service architecture based on scientific infographic as well as semi-automatic knowledge process for 'KISTI's Scent of Science' database, which has been highly credited as a science journalism service in Korea. Unlike other specialized scientific databases for domain experts and scientists, the database aims at providing comprehensible and intuitive information about various important scientific concepts which may seem not to be easily understandable to general public. In order to construct a knowledge-base from the database, we deeply analyze the traits of the database and then establish a semi-automatic approach to identify and extract various scientific intelligence from its contents. Furthermore, this paper defines a scientific infographic service platform based on the knowledge-base by offering its detailed structure, methods and characteristics, which shows a progressive future direction for science journalism service.

The media is a tool for communication. Social media, which was created by the modern science and technology, was considered to be the best communication tool. However, despite the current wide spread of social media, social communication is a serious problem in Korea enough to be called a crisis of communication. What is the reason and measures of communication problems? This paper was planned from the awareness of these problems. First, a number of features and possibilities of social media in journalism are discussed in chapter 2. In chapter 3, the role of social media having regard to the social communication was considered in comparison to traditional media. Finally, the value which the newly emerging social media should pursue was discussed in connection with the value which was pursued by the traditional journalism, then the new value to be added to journalism at the level of ethics presented in chapter 4.

Science reporting is easier to lead to failure than other news reporting because it needs higher professionalism. According to Actor-Network Theory(ANT), not only research results(artifacts) of scientists but also science articles are hybrid networks. Namely, they are connected by human actors(scientist, reporter, etc.) and nonhuman actors(press releases etc.). When the process of science reporting is examined on the view of ANT, it is the process that scientists' results translate the media via press releases as intermediaries and expand their network to the public. This study aims at making an ANT analysis of how research results of Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute(ETRI) scientist Hyun-Tak Kim were reported by lots of media, focusing on the rhetoric of ETRI's press release. It can reveal the reason for the science reporting's failure and hint at the better science journalism.
