This study empirically examined the influence of ownership structure(public/private) and revenue structure (high dependency on advertisement/low dependency on advertisement) of broadcasting companies upon journalists' perceptions regarding the degree of freedom in news reporting, the factors that limit freedom of press, satisfaction with the work autunomy and satisfaction with company's policies of news reporting and editing in light of resource dependency theory. The result showed that both the ownership structure and revenue structure of broadcasting companies influenced the journalists' perception regarding the degree of freedom in news gathering and reporting. It was also confirmed that only the revenue structure affected the level of satisfaction with work autonomy while the degree of satisfaction with the company's policies on editing and programing was influenced by the ownership structure. The perception of the factors that limit the freedom of press was found to be influenced only by the ownership structure, as did the satisfaction with policies on editing and programing. These results are very significant as they show that the level of dependence on advertising revenue affects journalists' news reporting, and that journalists of public broadcasting companies are influenced by the dependence on government or other political powers as well as on advertising revenue.

This study deals with South Korea broadcasting reporters reporting North Korea issues focusing on KBS and MBC. More specifically, this study focuses on what kinds of broadcasting reporting restriction factors are in reporting North Korea issues in Korea. In order to achieve the goal of this study, this study attempted the depth-interview with six broadcasting reporters working on KBS and MBC. As study results, this study found out that Korean broadcasting reporters were sensitively influenced by public opinions concerned about a specific North Korea issue and political situations that a North Korea issue was positioned. In order to overcome such kinds of reporting restrictions in reporting North Korea issues, this study suggests that KBS and MBC needs more professional manpower dealing with North Korea issues and outside help such as civic social associations.

'재난방송' 이라고 하면, 어떻게 하면 재난정보를 신속하게 피해주민들에게 전달하여 그 피해를 최소화 할 수 있을까 하는데 목적이 있는 것으로 생각하고 있다. 그러나 이는 단지 재난정보를 전달하는 재난전달시스템에 불과하다고 하겠다. 실제로 '재난방송' 이라고 말하면 재난이 발생했을 때 '무엇을' '어떻게' 방송하는 것이 재난피해를 최소화 할 수 있을 것인가에 대한 논의가 본래의 재난방송의 의미라고 하겠다. 즉, 재난방송은 전달하는 내용이나 전달 방법에 따라서 전달효과(impact)가 달라서 재난방송은 사전에 충분히 준비하고 준비된 방송내용과 전달방법이 필요하다고 본다. 본고는 2011년 3 11 동일본대진재 당시 일본의 텔레비전방송은 실제로 '무엇을' '어떻게' 방송했는지를 자세하게 분석해 본다. 구체적으로 일본의 주요방송 3사인 NHK, 니혼TV, 후지TV의 3일간 실시한 재난방송의 (1)기본화면과 (2)전달내용 등을 분석 해 보기로 한다. (1)NHK의 경우는 아나운서나 기자, 해설위원 등 자국 직원이 전달하는 비율이 80%를 넘고 있다. 외부 전문가는 4.4%로 소수에 불과하다, (2)니혼TV는 자국 직원이 대응하는 비율이 75.6%로 비교적 높은 편이나, 외부 전문가도 8%나 된다. 후지 TV의 경우는 직원이 대응하는 비율이 71.4%로 방송 3사 중 가장 낮은 비율을 보이고 있다. 그러나 외전문가로는 13.3%로 NHK에 비해 3배 정도로 외부 전문가를 이용해 객관성을 높이고 있다. NHK 재난방송은 원고로써 정리된 정보를 주로 아나운서나 기자, 해설위원이 전달하는 형태를 취하는 것을 기본패턴으로 하고 있다.

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.

It is common to say that Korean journalists' professionalism including the public broadcaster KBS is immature. This study used the Q methodology to explore the subjectivity that KBS reporters and citizens have formed about reporters' occupational achievements. we tried to find out the background and reasons of the subjective dimensions of journalists regarding the immature state of Korean journalists' professionalism. Under a condition for sorting of 'a reporter most likely to be promoted', using 95 statements related to the reporter's occupational achievements, 30 KBS reporters, 10 university students who were eager to be a journalist, and 40 ordinary people of various ages, a total of 80 participants took part in the Q sorting. A total of 3 Q factors were extracted, then analyzed in detail into a total of 6 reporter types divided into (+) and (-) sub types for each factor. As a result, six types of perceptions and attitudes were named as 'a professional reporter','a schemer reporter','an organizational loyalty reporter', 'a passionate reporter','a careerist reporter', and 'a reliable worker'. This study can be meaningful in that it further deepened and expanded the existing researches concerning Korean journalist's professional identity.

To get an implication for desirable direction for Collaboration between Reporter & Producer, I found that had 4 modes of collaboration such as, Producer System, Reporter System, Double Reporting System, Co-Work System, and each was distinguished by field cover, on-mic, editing, writing. Producer system and Reporter system got no chemical synergy because of simple array of single reports due to physical assemble. The achievements of collaboration was birth of new news which had different duration, visual, sound & perspective. It also offered fertile soil for new program and genre literacy of 8 o'clock news. The success factor of collaboration was surprisingly turned out to be personnel rather than system. The balance of reporter & producer was also good factor. But the wall between 2 groups was so high that, after disappearance of extraordinary leader, system began to crumble and at last program was repealed.

'과학기술'은 말만 들어도 딱딱하고 골치아픈 분야이다. 과학 기자가 과학기사를 다룰 때는 더욱 어려워진다. 취재한 내용을 전달할 때 신문은 중학교 3학년생이 봐도 이해할 수 있도록 기사를 작성해야 하고 방송은 초등학교 3학년 수준의 리포트를 작성해야 하기 때문이다.

This study focuses on the news making system of the prime time news of PSB in Korean society, where the presence of ethnic minorities is increasing rapidly. Although the World Wide Web has become one of the most attractive media over the last decade, Korean PSB, Korean Broadcasting System (KBS), still remains the most popular and influential medium. Therefore, the process of analyzing news making system of ethnic minorities in Korean society represented in Korean PSB as a social construction is meaningful in that it provides an important key to understand the cultural and political background and characteristics of society. For this purpose, the article tries to understand news making process when producing news related to ethnic minorities in the Korean society such as migrant workers, married migrant women and mixed-heritage children of multicultural families by interview with ten reporters in KBS. As a result, most KBS reporters had stereotypes towards multiculturalism and migrants and news reports relating to ethnic minorities are usually produced routinely, using a set of rules that have become part of KBS culture.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the media policy of the Third Republic and its influence on local newspapers in Korea. Just after the May 16th coup Military Government enforced the press merger and abolition and in 1962 announced the direction of the media policy and its implementation standards. These standards had a serious impact on local newspapers. It had resulted in weakening the reporting activities and aggravating the financial difficulties of the local newspapers. The media policy in 1971, which was in the form of self-purification resolutions of media corporations limited the dissemination and weakened the activities of local newspapers. By these measures the centralizing to Seoul of the media had to be deepened. The industrialization policy promoted by the Third Republic exacerbated this centralizing process.
