  • This study explores evaluative linguistic expressions in news reporting about the 2016 general election outcome in Korean newspapers. In particular, we have examined the evaluative linguistic expressions quoted from the three Western news media -New York Times, Washington Post, and BBC, both quantitatively and qualitatively in Korean news stories in order to know how journalists frame the news stories to persuade news consumers to accept their ideologies. This is based on the assumption that quotation can be a tool in conveying ideologies to news consumers (van Dijk, 1988, Jullian, 2011). To achieve this purpose, we selected ten Korean newspapers which included quotations from the news stories of the three Western media and then analyzed the quoted expressions quantitatively and qualitatively. For a qualitative analysis, evaluative linguistic expressions were analyzed to examine the journalistic stances of the Western news stories, following Martin's (2003) appraisal theory. For a quantitative analysis, a word frequency analysis was conducted to figure out the ratio of quoted words to the whole news texts in Korean newspapers. As a result, it was found that the news stories of BBC and Washington Post were more frequently quoted than that of New York Times when journalists conveyed neutral or positive attitude to the election outcome, thus confirming that evaluative linguistic expressions were functionally employed to convey journalists' ideologies or stances to news readers.

  • Referred to as a 'media war,' there is a fierce competition for media discourse between different countries. Twenty four hour global news channels like Al Jazeera, France 24, RT, NHK World, China's CCTV and teleSUR emerged to offer their own perspectives and stance in the global society, and to face the monopolization and distorted information created by the hegemony of English news channels which have swayed international public opinions for a long time. As a tool of public diplomacy, the media's role in determining the image of the nation and winning the 'Hearts and Minds' of the international community is decisive, but it cannot be said that they all have a similar influence or play a positive role in media diplomacy. A global news channel, which is both a media diplomatic subject and a journalism organization, can be in the position of acting as a public relations organization or a propaganda agency for the government depending on the regime's attitude because most of global news channels receive support from the government. Sometimes it is difficult for these media to implement quality journalism because of financial difficulties. Media discourse also has limitations in that it is dependent upon changes in foreign policy of its own government. This study examines the current status of global news channels, the dilemma these channels are facing, and suggests some potential directions that can be taken by global news channels in order to become more effective. It is becoming increasingly important for all nations to respond to distorted information about their own countries, to appropriately identify various issues and changes in the international community and to convey their views and positions to the international community. For now, there is a lack of awareness about the importance of media diplomacy in Korea: There are many English-language media, but as yet no global news channel which could have an influence on the international stage. However, there seems to be some understanding about the need for the media to present the Korean alternative discourse to the senseless dependency on Western media. We hope that this study will be an opportunity to think in depth about the attitude of the Korean global media, whether existing global media or new global news channels, in order to help them become more effective in media diplomacy.

  • When comparing media freedom in Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand, so-called "fake news" appears as threats to a deliberative (online) public sphere in these three diverse contexts. However, "racist propaganda", "information operations" and "negative campaigning" might be more accurate terms that explain these forms of systematic manipulative political communication. The three cases show forms of disinformation in under-researched contexts and thereby expand the often Western focused discourses on hate speech and fake news. Additionally, the analysis shows that harmful disinformation disseminated online originates from differing contextual trajectories and is not an "online phenomenon". Drawing on an analysis of connotative context factors, this explorative comparative study enables an understanding of different forms of harmful disinformation in Malaysia, Myanmar, and Thailand. The connotative context factors were inductively inferred from 32 expert interviews providing explanations for the formation of political communication (control) mechanisms.

  • 매스 미디어는 재난 발생시 이재민 뿐 아니라 일반인들의 행동과 의사결정에 영향을 미칠 수 있는 강력한 수단이기 때문에 매스 미디어의 역할은 재난 연구자들의 관심의 대상이 되어 왔다. 하지만 우리나라에서는 재난보도에 관한 현황 분석조차 미비한 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서 카인즈를 이용하여 2002년 8월 29일 부터 10월 1일까지 태풍 루사에 관하여 신문과 텔레비전 뉴스에서 보도된 기사를 분석하였다. 그 결과에 의하면, 한국의 재난 보도에서는 일기예보를 활용한 사전 경보 기능이 상당히 취약한 것으로 밝혀졌다. 또한 재난 피해자들의 무기력한 모습을 지나치게 강조함으로써 의존이미지라는 재난신화를 만드는데 기여하는 것으로 분석되었다. 이재민들에 대한 이와 같은 묘사는 성금을 모집하는 데에는 지대한 공헌을 하였을지 모르지만, 사실을 왜곡함으로써 효율적인 방재계획을 수립하는 데에는 역기능적 역할을 수행하였을 가능성을 제기한다. 따라서 미디어를 활용한 효율적인 경보체계를 확립하기 위해서는 재난경보가 복잡한 사회 과정임을 인식하여, 신뢰할만한 공식적인 기관이, 명확하고 구체적인 메시지를 매스 미디어에 제공할 필요가 있다. 또한 매스 미디어의 성금 모금은 필요 경비의 조달과 공동체 의식의 공고라는 순기능적 측면이 있지만 이재민의 의존적인 태도를 영속화시킬 수도 있기 때문에, 매스 미디어를 통하여 정부가 수행해야 할 업무와 자산 소유주가 담당해야 할 책임간의 차이를 명확하게 부각시킬 필요가 있다.

  • 이 논문은 1922년부터 1944년까지 열렸던 조선미술전람회에 대한 신문보도의 내용을 분석하여 그 특성을 파악한 것이다. 조선미술전람회는 일본의 식민지배하에 있는 조선 미술의 낙후성과 미개함을 강조하고, '지방색'만을 강조함으로써 식민지 조선의 '열등한 정체성'과 일본의 '우월한 정체성'을 차별적으로 확인하게 만드는 수단이 되었다. 아울러 서양은 발전된 현재이고 동양은 과거에는 발전했으나 현재는 정체된 것으로 바라보는 오리엔탈리즘의 기본 시각이 재현되어 조선의 미술문화를 쇠락(衰落)한 지방문화쯤으로 치부하고 있다. 일제하 총독부 신문이었던, 매일신보에 대한 담론 분석결과 한편으로는 식민지 조선을 중앙(일본)의 연장선상에 있는 '지방(내지)'으로 편입하는 '동화주의적' 측면을 가지면서도, 다른 한편으로는 근대화된 일본과는 구분되는 미개한 일개의 '지방(외지)'으로 차별화하는 '배제주의적' 측면을 갖고 있었다. 동아일보의 경우 오리엔탈리즘적인 시각에서 벗어나지 못하면서도, 조선 미술의 자존심을 지키려는 방식으로 기사를 구성했다는 점에서 혼종적인 보도 태도를 보이고 있었다.

  • The purpose of this study is to investigate the influential factors creating the modern library thought in the latter part of Yi Dynasty. After Korea was forced to make a treaty opening up the country in 1876, Western civilization was introduced and reforms were carried out eventually. Various influential factors could be taken into consideration as follows. (1) The envoys to Japan after 1876 (2) Tourists party to Japan organized by Gentlemen in 1982 (3) The persons who studied abroad (4) Establishment of modern schools and development of publications: on the new learning. (5) News media and others Above all, the persons who studied abroad, such as Yu Gil Jun, Yun Chi Ho, etc., in early stage has contributed most to the extension of public recognition for modern library in Korea. Therefore it can be said that the formation of modern library thought in Korea was based on the theory of the Western library as was the Japan in the period of Meiji Restoration. Patriotic intelectualls in these days believed that reform of the educational system and the diffusion of knowledge was very much meeded in order to preserve an independent Korea and to build up national strength, and then nation-wide campaign for enlightenment was earried on. For that reason the movement of the national library establishment in 1906 also should be regarded from the same point of view, that is, as a part of the enlightenment campaign. Therefore it should not go unheeded that strong patriotism was always streamed under the ground of the library campaign as well as the new learning and new education campaign. Unfortunately every plan of Korean library movement had broken down and missed the chance for having experience of self-development because of the Japanese invasion.

  • This paper begins with the thesis that the so-called 'Be Slow' Movement has not only affected the contemporary life style but also the current fashion trend in the West as well as in Korea. The influence of the 'Be Slow' Movement on the everyday life of Western and Korean society can be documented by recent books, news reports, and many articles from various kinds of mass media and fashion magazines since the year 2000. The results of this study can be summarized as follows. First. the 'Be Slow' Movement is a new cultural phenomenon and very different from that of the past century. It has emerged very recently and it could affect the life style o( its followers for a long period of time. Second, the influence of 'Be Slow' Movement on everyday life can be witnessed in many behavioral choices. such as the preference of organic food and natural cooking for food and the preference of rural life and a green patch of land for housing. Some aspects of the way of rearing the children and long-term planning of one's life are also under the influence of 'Be Slow' Movement. In a way. the life style Proposed by the 'Be Slow' Movement is somewhat similar to that of 'Bobos'. Third, the influence of 'Be Slow' Movement on the current fashion trend can be observed in the appreciation of time-consuming labour and increased usage of D.I.Y. clothing. The higher value of fashion goods with handcrafted part or scarce luxury item are good examples of the influence by the 'Be Slow' Movement. One can say that the 'Be Slow' Movement is not retrogression, but a re-creation of time and space to be grateful for one's life. Thus, it is not anti-technology but a commercialism with technology in order to enhance the quality of life and to place people in the center of production and consumption. Consequently, one may say that the 'Be Slow' Movement is a appropriate and affluent way of living.

  • 근대만화의 출발점은 만화의 기본적인 형태 즉, 글과 그림의 완전한 결합 형태로 풍자화의 전통에서 출발했으며, 동아시아 3개국은 근대미술과 서양의 새로운 서구의 만화형식인 카툰과의 결합을 통해 '만화'라는 매체가 본격적으로 자리 잡기 시작했다. 각 나라에 사정에 맞게 진화된 근대만화는 초기 체제와 외세, 그리고 내부 부패에 관한 풍자로부터 점차 일반 민중의 계몽의 수단으로 발전해 왔다. 그러나 체제비판은 탄압으로 이어졌고 근대 동아시아를 둘러싼 제국주의의 발호로 이들 나라의 근대만화는 모두 체제선전, 전쟁참여, 식민찬양 등의 과정을 겪어야만 했다. 세계만화의 큰 부분을 근대에서 현재에 이르기까지 상당부분을 과점하고 있는 동아시아의 만화의 토대가 바로 근대만화에서부터 출발하고 있으며, 따라서 근대 동아시아 만화가 가지는 특징들은 그런 의미에서 매우 의미가 크다 하겠다.
