In the digital media environment, the communication of government agencies has changed in various forms and the expertise has been strengthened. However, there are still negative views on the performance of public communication by government agencies. Criticism by prejudice, rather than rational evaluation, can hinder the development of public communication. Therefore, this study intends to identify whether there is a confirmatory bias in evaluating the performance of public communication by government and to suggest alternatives. To this end, this study confirmed that there is a possibility of confirmatory bias in evaluating the performance of public advertising/PR by comparing the simultaneous and sequential environments. The results of this study are expected to contribute to sharing and expanding public values by presenting rational criticism and evaluation methods for public communication.
