This study analyzed the reports of Korean and Chinese newspapers on the foundation of AIIB from the viewpoint of public diplomacy. The results showed that Chinese newspapers reported the government's statements and opinions and played as a means of conforming to the purposes of public diplomacy. Chinese newspapers employed the media paradigm of Instrumentalism among three paradigms of public diplomacy, which was due to ownership structure of the press. In the case of Korean Newspapers, they adopted paradigms of culturalism and professionalism. However, they verged to culturalism in terms of lack of discourse struggle due to few in-depth reports of the effects of national economy of AIIB.

본 연구는 인터넷 이용수준이 전통적 미디어의 이용수준에 미치는 영향과 수용지들의 미디어 소비 패턴에 대해 살펴보았다. 미디어 대체이론, 이용과 충족이론, 미디어 레퍼토리 연구를 바탕으로 인터넷 이용이 전통적 미디어의 이용에 미치는 영향을 중심으로 개인들의 정보와 오락 미디어 레퍼토리, 인터넷 레퍼토리에 영향을 미치는 사회적, 심리/태도적 변인과 인구통계학적 특징 등도 검토하였다. 이를 위해 전국에 있는 18세 이상 성인들을 대상으로 성별, 나이별, 지역별 층화표집방법을 이용해 표본을 추출하고 500개의 유효 서베이 설문지를 수집하였다. 데이터의 분석결과, 인터넷 이용정도가 다른 매체에 미치는 영향은 각 미디어별로 세 가지 다른 양상을-상호보완적 영향, 대체 치환의 영향, 그리고 영향을 받지 않음-보였으나 대체로 인터넷은 다른 미디어의 대체 미디어라기보다는 보완적인 매체로 현재 이용되고 있음이 나타났다. 또, 전반적인 미디어 이용시간 측면에서는 인터넷을 많이 이용하는 응답자일수록 오락과 정보 미디어 레퍼토리 크기가 더 컸던 것으로 나타나, 현재까지는 인터넷이 다른 미디어와 상호 보완하는 양상, 피들러(Fidler)의 미디어 변형이론 가운데 공존 공진화 현상을 보여주었다. 응답자들은 평균 2.01개와 2.25개의 오락과 정보 미디어 레퍼토리를 가졌으며 텔레비전, 신문, 인터넷을 두 미디어 레퍼토리의 3대 주요 미디어로 꼽았다. 또한 인터넷 레퍼토리와 사회적, 태도적 변인들간의 상관관계는 최근의 이용 충족이론과 미디어 레퍼토리 연구에서 나타났던 결과들과 일치해 사회적, 심리 태도적 요인들이(친밀도, 접근성, 유용성, 여가시간) 미디어 레퍼토리의 크기에도 영향을 미친다는 사실이 검증되었다.

Public opinion has dramatically shifted from positive to negative in Korea society especially since the IMF crisis. Such terms as 'aristocratic union', 'collectivism', 'damages on public interest' became a kind of conventional wisdom. Undoubtedly, media's representation has much to do with such a tantamount difference. This study thus attempts to understand the mechanism by analyzing media discourse related to labor strikes. For this purpose, this paper made a choice three cases including doctor-pharmacist dispute, general strike by truckers' solidarity, and Ssangyong Motor's strike. Total 217 editorial pieces of , and conceived to be a representative newspaper of ideological stance were analyzed. Research showed that while paying particular attention to demoralizing labor strikes, shed positive light on such disputes by articulating fundamental causes hampered by pro-capital policies along with anti-labor law enforcement. The believed to be relatively a neutral one showed ambivalent attitudes toward those cases. More favorable and inclusive reporting were found in accordance with policy shifts as well. Media's selective partisanship for the sake of private interests is firmly believed to downgrading credibility on Korean journalism. Also is fair, balanced and less biased reporting over socal disputes a vital part in crystallizing social consensus. In this consideration, the authors hoped this study to provide an opportunity to contemplate on what would be desirable journalistic values in modern democracy.

For this purpose, a semantic network analysis was employed to analyze keywords in the abstracts of published articles in the Korean Journal of Journalism and Communication Studies from 2005 to 2015. The results showed that "frame", "Twitter", "content analysis" and "social media" are among the most frequently used keywords in the abstracts during this period. With regards to degree and eigenvector centrality, "social capital", "trust" and "twitter" were among the highest. The findings of the periodic characteristics of research trends revealed that there are more studies that employ the traditional media effect theories including Uses and Gratification Theory, Agenda Setting Theory, and Framing Theory before the year of 2010 while those that focus on the specific new media such as smartphones and twitter after 2011.

This study explored the agenda of conservative and liberal media in reporting COVID-19, and observed the effects of each media's partisan agenda-setting on the public with the same political orientation. To this end, researchers collected 5,286 articles on COVID-19 from five newspapers, and analyzed the survey data of 1,067 respondents. Next, the researchers extracted main agenda using LDA topic modeling and analyzed the correlation between newspapers' agenda and survey respondents' agenda. As results, 15 topics such as infection, vaccine, and economic crisis appeared as the media agenda, and the difference in major agenda between conservative and liberal media was found. On the other hand, the conservative media exerted an agenda-setting influence not only on the conservatives but also on the liberals, but the liberal media did not have a significant influence on the liberals. This study contributes to the methodological expansion of agenda-setting research by introducing a new way to confirm the effectiveness of agenda-setting by combining topic modeling and survey.

Gun-Ho Song had been selected as 'the most respected person' in a survey targeting journalists. While being a journalist, Gun-Ho Song had directly experienced that the press submitted to government suppression and became commercialized receiving government benefits. In 1975, when Dong-A Ilbo(Daily News) submitted to the government suppression and conducted a mass of discharge of journalists, he felt responsibility and left the newspaper company. After that, he criticized more sharply the media subordinated to the power and capital. The core of Gun Ho Song's thought of the press is that the media should be independent from the power and capital contributing to nationalism and democracy. Also, he insisted that journalists should equip with historical consciousness and social scientific knowledge beyond roles like skilled workers. His idea of the press is still valid in the current media situation showing that journalists become skilled workers and independence of the press is risky. Looking into his activity and idea of the press can help seek for the right attitude of journalists and right roles of the media in the change of media environment.
