Abstract

This paper explores the characteristics of curated news content. With content analysis of 1020 news clips, the study found that news values immersed in card news differed from those of traditional news. Specifically, timeliness was not regarded as a key factor in newsworthiness. Rather, information and social impacts were highly emphasized. Considering news consumers depend on traditional news for timely news, curated news content was not a replacement for traditional news but a supplement. By refurbishing photos from previous news reports and googling the web for related information, curated news reiterates social meaning and provides relevant information. Furthermore, salience of human interest can be explained by entertaining characteristics of curated news. In story forms, the list technique has several important points to stress, and was more frequently used than inverted pyramids. Another key finding of this study is man-on-the street as the most quoted main sources in the curatorial context.

본 연구는 새로운 뉴스 콘텐츠로서 카드뉴스를 분석하고 디지털시대에 뉴스가치의 변화에 대해 살펴보았다. 본 연구는 지난 2015년 하반기에 국내 언론사를 통해 보도된 1020개의 카드뉴스에 대한 내용분석을 통해, 뉴스가치에 대한 전통적인 개념들이 변화되고 있음을 확인하였다. 카드뉴스는 새롭게 취재하여 기사화하기보다는 저장된 기존 뉴스들을 재활용하면서, 뉴스가치로서 시의성 보다는 정보제공과 사회적 가치, 오락적 요소를 강조하고 있다. 이는 새로운 뉴스전달방식으로써 카드뉴스는 기존 뉴스에 대한 대체재가 아니라 보완재임을 보여준다. 또한 역피라밋 형태의 글쓰기보다는 리스트 나열형의 기사 작성 방식이 선호되고, 취재원으로서 길거리 일반인(Man-on-the streets)이 자주 인용됨이 발견되었다.
