Abstract

As the use of mass media in modern politics grows, its influential power is getting larger than before. Therefore, fairness of broadcasting is identified as a very important factor in the current law. In particular, whether the mass media has balanced attitude toward election issues has been a critical point, which maked the current law have separate provisons to deal with it. As for the fairness and bias, most existing studies had focused on how long the media dealt with the specific political issues, which leads to only quantitative analysis. Also, most analysis of the contents had been based on very personal judgement and evaluation of researchers rather than following the criteria which is based on scientific method. This study introduced the AHP analysis method to compare the quantitative data and qualitative data altogether, which aims to develope the indicator for weighted measures and measurement of the fairness. Research findings reveals that each broadcaster has, MBC was highly biased and KBS and SBS followed that. Compared with existing studies regarding the political fairness of the media.

현대 정치에서 매스미디어의 영향력이 확대됨에 따라 방송의 공정성이 중요하게 논의되고 있다. 기존의 연구는 대부분 기계적 공정성만을 추구하는 경향이 있어 이번 연구에서는 정량적 자료와 정성적 자료를 함께 비교하기 위해 AHP 분석방법을 통한 분석을 시도했다. 연구 결과 1계층의 평가항목 중 내용적 균형의 가중치가 상대적으로 높게 나타났으며, 형식적 균형에서는 보도의 순서가 내용적 균형에서는 보도제목이 가장 큰 중요도를 차지하는 지표로 나타났다. 각 방송사별 편향성 비교에서는 MBC가 편향성이 가장 크고 다음이 KBS, SBS순서로 나타났다. 이번 연구는 기존의 공정성 관련 연구가 형식적 분석에 그쳤던 것에 반해 정량적 자료와 정성적인 자료를 하나의 분석틀에서 계량화 하고 이의 정도를 상호 비교할 수 있었다는데 의미가 있다고 할 수 있다.
