The current distribution of digital news has the potential to produce politically biased information for users as a result of individual choices and media selection based on those choices. Consequently, this research explored the factors affecting individual news selection and the effects of opinion changes and political participation that can occur when news tailored to users' partisan preferences is recommended. The phenomenon of selective exposure has been shown to be stronger when individuals utilize more limited information processing, experience higher discussion efficacy among groups with similar political beliefs. Furthermore, When a selective exposure group was randomly provided with a one-way message news that matched their partisan leanings, it was found that opinion consolidation, opinion-reinforcing information processing, and online political participation. On the other hand, when they were randomly presented with two-way messaging news in which the media balanced two competing partisan positions, they were found to be more likely to understand the other side's views and arguments, and more willing to adjust their existing opinions. We are confirmed that the balanced use of various opinions is very important in deliberative democratic process.

Digital convergence put a huge challenges for broadcast media in terms of integrating user generated content (UGC). Keeping this in mind, objective of the study is to explore the factors that affecting UGC's integration in Broadcast channel from developing countries' perspective. We explored how and why UGC are appearing in Bangladeshi Television news. In-depth interview was used and news editorial level staffs were selected from leading Bangladeshi television channels. Findings suggest that, state interventions in crisis events and lack of experiences to handle crisis reporting played a crucial role to incorporate UGC in television news bulletins. One of the significant findings is that, mere traditional guidelines and work policy of the media houses will not be enough to handle user generated content as well as citizen's participation in news media. Thus, we recommend to formulate a comprehensive user generated content integration policy in the context of Bangladesh.

지난 2008대규모 해킹 개인정보 유출 등 보안 사고로 얼룩진 한 해였다. 중국발 해킹으로 인해 국내 대표 오픈마켓 회원 1,000개인정보가 유출됐고, 포털 사이트의 고객 상담정보가 해커에 의해 탈취됐으며, 정유회사 고객정보 1,100내부 직원에 의해 유출되는 등 다양한 형태의 보안 사고가 발생했던 한해였다. 지난 십여년에 결쳐 진행된 정보화혁명으로 인해, 거의 모든 정보들이 디지털화되고 인터넷을 통한 유통이 일반화되면서 정보보호 이슈는 날이 갈수록 심화되고 있는 실정이다. 인터넷이 우리 사회에 가져 올 순기능은 형언할 수 없을 만큼 크지만 개인정보 침해를 비롯한 역기능 또한 심각한 수준에 이르고 있다. 향후 유비쿼터스 시대 도래 등과 더불어 다양한 개인 맞춤형 IT 서비스가 더욱 확산된다면 개인정보 보호와 프라이버시에 대한 이슈는 지금보다 더 첨예하게 대두될 것으로 예상된다. 더 많은 정보사회의 편익을 누리기 위해 개인정보의 적절한 수집과 활용은 계속될 것이기 때문이다. 그런 의미에서 개인정보 보호는 고도 정보화 사회를 위한 기본 전제조건이자, 결정적인 신뢰요소다. 그리고 지금은 우리 사회 의 개인정보보호 수준제고를 위해 모두의 지혜가 필요한 시점이다.
