Abstract

The news media report the pledges of presidential candidates, which have important implications for political communication. This study is to investigate the difference between news coverage on the presidential candidate' s pledge and to discuss its implications. The sampled news from the two newspapers were analyzed for content analysis. Frequency analysis and Chi-square analysis are utilized with SPSS. As results, there was no difference in the tone of the article's headlines, but the difference of the tone between the article content was statistically significant. The results means that the media framing affect on the reader's perception. Follow - up study can be suggested a comparative study of past election candidates 'pledge reports, a network analysis for the news language, and a comparative analysis of newspaper coverage and broadcast coverage.

뉴스 미디어는 대통령 후보들의 공약을 보도하면서 주관적 논평을 하며, 이는 정치 커뮤니케이션에서 중요한 의미를 가진다. 본 연구의 목적은 언론의 대통령 후보 공약에 대한 보도 특성과 신문 간 차이를 살펴보고 그 함의를 논의하는 것이다. 보수적 신문과 진보적 신문, 즉 조선일보와 경향신문에 보도된 2주간의 뉴스 기사를 표집하여, 체계화된 코딩유목에 따라 내용분석을 실시하였다. 수집된 기사에 대해 빈도분석과 신문 간 보도 논조의 차이를 검증하기 위해 교차분석을 수행하였고, 분석도구로는 SPSS 통계패키지를 이용하였다. 분석 결과, 기사 제목에서의 논조 차이는 발견되지 않았으나, 기사의 내용적 차원에서는 신문 간 논조 차이가 통계적으로 유의미하게 나타나 연구가설이 검증되었다. 이 같은 연구결과는 보수와 진보적 성격의 신문간 보도 차이로 인한 언론의 프레이밍 효과를 시사한다. 후속 연구로 지난 선거 후보들의 공약 보도와의 비교, 기사 논조의 차이에 대한 언어 사용의 심층적 분석을 위한 네트워크분석, 공약의 신문보도와 방송보도의 비교분석이 제안된다.
