The purpose of the study was to analyze agricultural and rural news in mass media reporting. This study analyzed the representation of agricultural and rural news of Korean Broadcasting System (KBS), established in 1947 as a public service broadcaster and the Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS), established in 1990 as a private service broadcaster in Korea. There has been criticisms of isolated and anecdotal reporting of agricultural and rural issues, thus, leading to negative public perception mainly influenced by mass media even though there has been increases in the publicity activities regards agricultural policies in the KBS and SBS broadcasting news. This study was designed to reveal the merits of the preceding criticisms. For this purpose, a total of 437 news items issued between September 2004 and August 2005 were analyzed via content and framing analysis research methodologies. The major findings and conclusions of the study were as follows: 1. Content analysis of agricultural and rural news revealed that the lack of relative quantity and 'in-depth analysis' in agricultural reporting and the thematic concentration on negative news and flash events were the most prominent characteristics of Korean broadcasting news. 2. The quantity of agricultural news was relatively insufficient and qualitatively superficial and stereotyped lacking in comprehensive understanding of agricultural and rural issues and inclined toward flash events and crisis-oriented. Based on the findings and conclusions, following recommendations are offered; 1) Agricultural institutions should consider changing the images of rural society and farmers implementing agricultural and rural policies in the future, and perception of the general public should be considered in reporting agricultural and rural news. 2) Further research should be conducted to provide practical implications for the broadcast media on the agricultural information system.

Previous research assessed media reporting on nuclear accidents and risks, whilst studies about the Fukushima accident focused on the impact of the Internet on coverage of the incident. However, little research has addressed news framing or comparisons of the perceptions of journalists in relation to reporting nuclear accidents. The aim of this study is to apply framing analysis to news content in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and USA Today about the Fukushima accident. It explores the question of how journalists view reporting on complex events. Content analysis of these three newspapers shows that conflict, responsibility, and economic consequences were the most frequently used frames. According to the journalists interviewed, the biggest problem was the inability to assess information due to contrary positions held by experts. It is argued that the Fukushima accident was framed as a conflict of experts and officials' opinions, utility and government officials' responsibility, and economic consequences for the United States. Adherence to professional norms of objectivity and impartiality was signified as the best approaches to risk reporting.

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.

This study aims to probe for ideological construction within the linguistic structure of newspaper reporting. The study focuses on news reports relating the issue of new IOC chairman election in English version of four mainstream newspaper published in Korea: The Donga Daily News, The Jungang Daily News, The Chosun Daily News, and The Korea Times. The analysis of these reports adheres to the analytic paradigm of critical linguistic analysis and shows how the newspaper articulate conflicting ideological positions in their reports of new IOC chairman election. The analysis demonstrates how the event of new IOC chairman election is naturalized in racist accounts. This study is important for understanding the constructive nature of language practices. The study concludes with a discussion to explain the need for critical awareness in choosing right teaching material, considering that news reports are widely accepted as an authentic material for English education.

경쟁의 심화와 그에 따른 전통적 언론매체의 경영악화가 상업적 저널리즘을 초래한다는 주장은 계속되지만, 그 양상이 어떻게 전개되고 있는지를 실증적으로 분석한 연구는 많지 않다. 이 연구는 최근의 미디어환경 변화가 언론의 역할, 곧 안내적 저널리즘 기능의 수행에 어떤 영향을 미쳤는지를 알아보기 위해 중앙종합일간지의 1면 기사와 지상파방송의 주요 뉴스를 분석하였다. 분석결과, 최근에 올수록 언론사 간 현실 인식의 공유는 분화되는 모습을 보이고 있었다. 언론사들이 독자적인 목소리를 내는 정도가 높아지고, 기사 주제의 다양성도 증가하고 있었다. 보도에서 특정 주제나 사건의 '독식과 배제'는 완화되는 모습을 보인다는 점에서 긍정적으로 평가할 수 있다. 언론사의 경영상태는 보도 행태에 영향을 미치는 중요한 요소로 나타났다. 경영상태가 악화된 언론사일수록 타매체와 동일한 기사와 주제를 싣는 정도가 높으며, 결과적으로 독자적인 목소리를 통한 차별화와 다양성이 줄어들었다. 경영상태가 악화된 매체일수록 연성주제 기사를 게재하는 정도가 높았다. 경영상황이 악화된 언론사들은 이슈보도에 중점을 두지만, 독자적으로 사회적 의제를 제기한 '독립적 이슈기사'의 양은 전체의 6.9%에 불과했다. 결국 중앙종합일간지와 지상파방송은 한국에서 여전히 여론형성의 강력한 기제로 작용하고 있지만, 경영상태의 악화, 특히 신문사들의 경영악화는 안내적 저널리즘 기능의 수행에 부정적 영향을 미치고 있다. 마지막으로 이 연구는 주류 언론의 역할을 강조하면서 연구의 한계점을 제시하고 있다.

This study examines the structure of the problems of Korean newspaper reporting raised by the civil society. Based on the differences in the mode of presentation, the problems of newspaper reporting were classified into three types; prominent, associated, and isolate problem. The relations among these problems were defined as the degree of co-occurrence in the monitoring articles. A network analysis was conducted to examine the structure of the problems in Korean newspaper reporting. A $33{\times}33$ similarity matrix of the problems was created by analyzing the data from one monitoring report and two weekly media critics newspapers. The results showed that of the 33 problems, most of them were mentioned as prominent or associated problems. The problems related to the news contents were mostly treated as prominent ones, while the problems about the news writing and reporting styles were frequently treated as associated ones. The network structure of newspaper criticism based on the co-occurrence of 33 problems were divided into six clusters. Among them, the most central was the group including the problems of "unfairness,' "biased interpretation," and "vagueness". In addition, the problems were found to have different roles in the network. Of the 33 problems, two were liaisons and four were attached isolates, indicating the hierarchical structure of problems in newspaper reporting. These results were discussed in the light of two viewpoints; the absence of objective criteria in media criticism, and the need for the comparisons of the current study's results with the opinions of newspaper readers and journalists. finally, the implications for the future studies were presented.

본 연구는 소셜미디어에서의 뉴스 정보 수용을 기존의 전통적인 신문기사 형식의 뉴스 읽기와 비교 분석했다. 전통적인 신문기사 읽기 조건과 비교할 때 소셜미디어를 통한 뉴스 전달은 대화저널리즘 양식으로 이뤄진다고 보았으며 이러한 양식의 차이가 뉴스 정보의 기억과 구성에 어떤 차이를 만들어내는지를 유사실험을 통해 관찰했다. 실험에서는 동일한 내용의 가상의 기사를 전통적인 신문기사 형식과 소셜미디어의 대화체 이야기 정보 방식으로 제작해 신문기사 조건과 소셜미디어 조건에 활용했다. 뉴스의 이해 정도를 정보 기억(전체 내용 기억, 주요 내용 기억, 내용을 틀리게 기억한 정도, 부가적인 정보의 기억, 사실 정보 획득)과 구성(인과관계 기억)의 두 가지 측면에서 관찰했다. 분석결과, 신문기사 조건은 소셜미디어 조건보다 정보 기억에서 더 뛰어났다. 전체 내용의 기억 정도, 주요 내용을 기억한 정도, 부가적인 정보를 기억한 정도, 사실 정보 획득 등에서 신문기사 조건이 우세했으며, 내용을 틀리게 기억한 정도는 소셜미디어 조건이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 인과관계 기억의 경우, 일반적 인과관계를 기억하는 정도는 소셜미디어 조건이 더 뛰어났지만 해당 기사에 특정한 인과관계를 기억하는 정도는 신문기사 조건이 소셜미디어 조건보다 유의미하게 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 연구결과는 전통적인 신문기사 형식이 뉴스 내용을 이해하는 데 도움이 됨을 시사하고 있다.

본 연구는 자원의존이론에 근거해 방송사의 소유구조(공영/민영)와 재원구조(고광고 의존/저광고 의존)가 기자들이 느끼는 취재보도의 자유도와 언론자유를 제약하는 주된 요인, 직무의 자율성 만족도, 편집 편성 정책 만족도에 미치는 영향을 방송사 기자에 대한 인식조사를 통해 실증적으로 확인했다. 그 결과 방송사의 소유구조와 재원구조는 모두 기자들이 느끼는 취재 및 보도의 자유도 인식에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인됐다. 반면 자율성에 대한 만족도는 재원구조만 영향을 미쳤고, 회사의 편집 편성 정책에 대한 만족도와 언론 자유를 제약하는 요인에 대한 인식은 소유구조가 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인됐다. 이같은 결과는 광고수익 의존도가 기자들의 취재보도에 영향을 미치며, 특히 공영방송은 정부나 정치권력과 광고수익 의존도가 동시에 영향을 미치고 있다는 사실이 확인됐다는 점에서 의의가 있다.

Objective : The aims of this study are to investigate the trend of internet journalism about the toxicity and safety of the herbal medicine, and to suggest the regulatory solution of the issue. Method : In this study, we had searched the internet news article published from 2001 to 2011 in the five major portal sites-NAVER, DAUM, Nate, Google Korean, and Yahoo Korean. The search terms were 'herbal medicine', 'adverse event', 'toxicity'. If the articles described the same event in the same form and tone, the articles were considered overlapping. The overlapped articles were excluded. The articles were categorized by the form and tone. The form categories were straight news, interpretative story, editorial, interview, and the tone categories are the positive, the negative, and the neutral. The regulations were searched about the negative issue. Result : Total 56 articles were reviewed. There were 19 positive articles, 29 negative articles, 8 neutral articles. Most negative issues have the proper regulations, but insufficient measures for the adverse event reporting system. Conclusion : The herbal medicine specified adverse event reporting system is essential.
