The purpose of this study is to investigate the dependency level of news attributes on the government source and to measure up the impact of news negativity, press ideology, and the conflict level on the forementioned relationship in the context of the prime definer role of the government. The prime definer means that the official source such as the government may dominate media access and create media dependency on the issue and issue attributes. To test the research questions, the content analyses of both the government briefing materials and newspapers were conducted. Textual arguments regarding the new administrative capital were chosen for the analysis. The results showed that the government source played a prime definer role in framing issue attributes of news reporting. This prime definer role was not diminished even among the negative coverage about the chosen topic. However, press ideology and the conflict level influenced the relationship between news attributes and the government-released information in some extent.

The purpose of the study is to explore the characteristics of lawsuits against investigative reporting programs of the broadcast media. This study proposed three research questions: (1) what were the characteristics of court derisions on the investigative reporting programs? (2) what were the reasonings on which judges rely in the lawsuits for a right of reply? (3) what were the critical issues and how the libel laws were applied in balancing between the freedom of the press and the protection of individual rights. To answer these questions, the study employed quantitative and qualitative methods analysing 35 related cases. This study revealed that investigative reporting programs must deal with the Issues of 'public figures' and 'matters of public concern' to be protected under the freedom of the press. The study also found that the broadcast media must prove legitimate public interests and the truth of the facts to prevail in a case. In 1999, the Constitutional Court of Korea held that pubic figures in libel cases must be regarded differently from private figures. In accordance with the decision, the Supreme Court has applied differing criteria for public figures in libel cases. However, courts have not set a clear definition of the public figure yet. To advocate the freedom of the press, as the results of this study indicate, TV producers and journalists should behave lawfully in the course of newsgathering and provide the opportunities of reply for their news sources.

뉴스 헤드라인에 제3자의 발언을 직접 인용해 전언하는 이른바 '따옴표 저널리즘'이 언론 보도의 객관주의 원칙을 해치는지는 언론학 및 뉴스 구독자에게 중요한 문제이다. 이 연구는 온라인 포털사이트를 통해 실시간 유통되는 한국어 기사의 정확성을 판별하기 위한 기계학습(Machine Learning) 모델을 제안한다. 이 연구에서 제안하는 모델은 Edit Distance와 FastText 기법을 활용해 기사 제목과 본문 내 인용구의 유사성을 측정하고, XGBoost 모델을 활용해 최종 분류한다. 아울러 이 모델을 통해 229만 건의 뉴스 헤드라인에 대해 직접 인용구가 포함된 기사가 취재원의 발언을 주관적인 윤색없이 독자들에게 전하고 있는지를 판별했다. 이뿐만 아니라 딥러닝 기반의 KoELECTRA 모델을 활용해 기사의 제목 내 인용구에 대한 감성 분석을 진행했다. 분석 결과, 윤색이 가미되지 않은 직접 인용형 기사의 비율이 지난 20년 동안 10% 이상 증가했으며, 기사 제목의 인용구에 나타나는 감정은 부정 감성이 긍정 감성의 2.8배 정도로 우세했다. 이러한 시도는 앞으로 계산사회과학 방법론과 빅데이터에 기반한 언론 보도의 평가 및 개선에 도움을 주리라 기대한다.

This study explored how South Korean newspapers covered North Korea's second nuclear test in May of 2009. Findings show that South Korean newspapers mostly reported North Korea's nuclear experiment in relatively negative tones. Their coverage mainly focused on the influences of nuclear threat from the North on the military, political and economic areas in South Korea. However, the media's agenda settings and frames were not similar in terms of each paper's political and ideological inclination. Whereas the progressive papers, such as the Hankyoreh and the Kyunghyang Shinmun, recognized that the current nuclear issue in Korean peninsula is getting worse because of South Korea's rigorous pressure on North Korea, the conservative papers, such as the Chosun Ilbo and the Donga Ilbo, see that the deadlock between North and South mainly comes from the system malfunction of North Korea. To prevent the current impasse, the left-side papers emphasized to develop the six-party talk in dealing with North Korean issue, while the right-wing papers paid attentions to the West's sanctions on North Korea and ensuring national security.

상수도시스템의 과정 중 최종 단계인 급수단계에서 지역전반에 수질문제가 발생할 경우, 직간접적인 피해의 해결은 장기간 지속될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 실시간 비정형정보의 빅데이터 분석을 통해 상수도시스템에서 수질사고 문제의 파급력과 2차 피해 등의 연결 관계 변화 추적을 위한 기초적 분석을 수행하였다. 과거 대규모 수질사고가 발생된 바 있는 인천광역시 유충발생 사고를 대상으로 뉴스 기사 웹크롤링 절차를 정립하고, 그 결과를 분석하였다. '인천 유충'이 최초 보도되었던 2020년 7월 13일 부터 이후 1년을 대상으로 네이버 통합검색에 의해 표출되는 뉴스기사를 웹크롤링하였으며, 프로그래밍을 통한 불용어 제거 및 관련성 검토를 통해 총 920건의 기사를 분석하였다. 수질사고의 전개양상에 따라 사고발생, 확산, 수습, 그리고 보상의 4단계로 임의 구분하여 분석하였다. 의미분석을 위한 토픽모델링 기법은 잠재 디리클레 할당(Latent Dirichlet Allocation, LDA) 방법을 적용하였으며, 긍부정 감정분석은 KNU 한국어 감성사전(KNU sentiment lexicon)을 활용하여 수행하였다. 토픽 모델링 결과, 사고 발생에서부터 확산, 수습, 보상의 단계에 맞춰 적절한 주제어의 조합에 따른 기사들이 도출되었으며, 단계별 긍부정 기사 비율역시 사고의 전개단계에 따라 적절히 나타남을 확인하였다. 제시된 수질사고 관련 비정형정보 분석 방법론과 결과는 과거 사고 사례 분석을 통한 검색 및 긍부정 키워드 확정, 키워드 발생 비율 변동(사고전과 후)에 따른 상황판단 기준설정 등에 활용이 가능하다.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the attributes of the online world and to analyze their influence on democracy. The research focuses on the mayoral by-elections that were held in Seoul and Busan, South Korea, on April 4, 2021. The study demonstrates the characteristics of online spaces and the polarization of the online public through news articles and user comments from the Internet. The research includes topic modeling to measure the diversity of media reports, sentiment analysis to measure online public opinion, and interrupted time series analysis to understand how a particular event influences online attitudes. A combination of these methods is used to attempt to estimate the strength of political polarity in the online environment. The study shows diverse media reports by election region and candidate, where the online public repeatedly reveals high negative and low positive attitudes towards each candidate. Moreover, political polarity can differ based on the level of interest in an election. Although voters pay less attention to a by-election than a presidential election, there is a solid political polarity in the online world. Hence, the research recommends preparing measures to alleviate the polarization as politics requires significant online participation.

This paper examines the pecuniary effects stemming from insider trading in the equities of firms targeted for acquisition. Illegal exchanges by those having advantageous information are found to result in excessive returns to stockholders of the sought firms. However, unusual market activities are not typical immediately subsequent to the illegal trading date, suggesting that nonpublic information is synthesized by market mechanisms with sufficient speed so that others cannot profit by imitating the better informed traders. The obtained evidence does not support the contention that insider trading on nonpublic information harms the outsider stockholders of involved firms.

Purpose: This study was conducted to understand the public awareness of landslide and check dams in 2015-2020 using the big data platform 'Hyean' and to confirm the utilization of this platform in disaster prevention areas. Method: The total amount, number of detection by period by media, and affirmative and negative trends of a search for 'landslide' and 'check dam' in 2015-2020 were analyzed using a keyword search of 'Hyean.' Result: There is significant lack of public awareness of check dam compared to landslide, and the trend is more noticeable in the conspicuous gap of data amount between the news and SNS media. The number and the timing of the search for 'landslide' coincided with the actual occurrence of landslide, while the detection of 'check dam' was less related to it. Relatively affirmative preception for the check dam is inferred, but it was difficult to confirm accurate statistical affirmative and negative trends in the disaster prevention field using 'Hyean.' Conclusion: Unlike the experts who expect positive public awareness of check dam, the statistic results show that the public awareness of the check dam as an effective countermeasure against landslide was extremely low. Active promotion of erosion control projects should be carried out first, and a balanced sample survey should accompany online and periodic field surveys. Since there is a limit to grasping the effective perception in the field of disaster prevention area using 'Hyean', it should be very cautious to establish local/governmental policies using it.

This study focused on the Korean Stock Market so as to recognize the actual Korea-China FTA effect in the firm level. The result are as follows. First, lifting embargo even before the FTA actually took into effect influenced negatively to the firms listed in Korean Stock Market unlike the expectations that effectuation could influence positively to Korean economy. Secondly, the industries that China has attracted more foreign investors than Korea have shown declining returns as they positioned comparative disadvantages in Korea. In this regard, foreign shares delivered signaling effects to domestic investors in Korea. Thirdly, information for effectuation(embargo lifting) has reflected in the stock prices immediately as it leaked in the industries expecting the negative impact, while investors showed the tenancy to retain the action until the FTA actually took into effect in the industries expecting the positive impact.
