This study aims to understand how people evaluate the credibility of news they use every day and how such evaluation is related to their credibility assessment of news on media overall. For this purpose, this study examines the relationship between credibility of "news I use" and credibility of news on television and news portals overall, respectively. It also explores whether the relationship is moderated by the strength of political ideology. From regression analyses of a nationwide survey of 5,010 adults in South Korea in 2021, the results showed a lower level of credibility for "news I use" than for overall news on television and portals. The results also revealed a significant relationship between the credibility of "news I use" and credibility of overall news on the two media respectively. The expected moderation effect was significant for portal news, but not for television news. Findings and implications are discussed.

The Sewol ferry catastrophe that took place on April 16 2014 was unprecedented in terms of its sociopolitical implications, which had reverberated throughout the Korean nation. Mindful of such distinct characteristics of the Sewol ferry catastrophe, this thesis looks into the salience of the agendas portrayed in Twitter and Portal News coverage on the disaster and the correlation between the attribute-specific agendas of the foregoing mediums by making use of the agenda rank order correlation method. Extraction and analysis of big data revealed that first, while the hypothesis that there were little difference in terms of salience among the main agendas between Twitter and Portal News was dismissed, the rank order correlation proved to be high as regards the main agendas on Twitter and Portal News. This signifies that Twitter agendas exert influence over those on Portal News. Next, and regarding the five main agendas on the incident, there existed differences in salience between the attribute-specific agendas of the two mediums, with low figures for corresponding rank order correlations.

As Internet users increasingly consume news through the Internet, Internet portals face criticism that they are quickening the softening of public news and molding public opinions. Some portals have started to provide newscast services that directly connect the press, not grouping news sources on their own standards. This study aims to clarify how news grouping models and newscast models are different in terms of news softening and agenda setting. Specifically, authors conduct a content analysis on time-specific news content provided by top three portals-Naver, Daum, and Nate. By doing so, this study examines characteristics of news service models of Internet portals and their social and political implications. According to our study, the softening and tabloidization of portal news had not been improved even after adopting the newscast model. Therefore, portal journalism should be reorganized as a way to circulate healthy and qualified news content.

We investigate the effect of comment history disclosure on portal news comments. Specifically, based on the scraped news comments from Naver and Daum (two leading Korean news portals), we employ the difference-in-differences estimator to empirically tease out the impact of the comment history disclosure policy implemented in Naver on its news comments. Our result shows that the policy implementation significantly increased the length and the positiveness of online news comments but did not affect their quality.
