Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the overall web information seeking behavior of news reporters and analyze its correlation with parameters that characterize information needs, preferred sources of information, information technology and internet use and satisfaction. For this purpose, a survey of205 news reporters working at domestic newspaper companies, including daily newspapers, magazines, and online newspapers was conducted. News reporters' primary purposes of seeking web information were to simply check facts and collect overall background information. Their information needs had close association with their position, media type, and familiarity with the internet, but with little association with gender, age, and reporting area.

본 연구의 목적은 기자직의 웹 정보탐색행위의 전반적 현황을 조사하고, 정보요구, 선호 정보원, 정보기술과 인터넷 이용, 만족도의 특성을 형성하는 변인과의 관련성을 분석하는데 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구는 일간지, 주간지, 월간지, 인터넷 신문 등 국내 신문사에 소속된 205명의 취재기자를 대상으로 설문 조사를 수행하였다. 기자직의 웹 정보탐색 주요 목적은 간단한 사실 확인과 전반적인 배경 정보 수집이었으며, 기자직의 정보요구에 대한 특성은 직책과 매체종류, 인터넷친밀도와 밀접한 관련성이 있는 반면 성별, 연령, 취재분야, 경력과는 관련성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다.
