‘집시법’상의 야간옥외집회 관련 조항에 관한 신문보도 경향과 프레임 연구

초록

This paper examined how newspapers reported on the Law on Assembly and Demonstration between 2008 and 2010. For this, this paper analyzed what are the frames of news reporting and how the conservative and progressive newspapers differently reported about the law. As a result, first of all, it was found that ‘theme frame’ was used more often than ‘episode frame’, which reveals that newspapers tended to report about the law not based on the fact but on opinion. More specifically, except the gen bal frame, there were found several frames such as ‘defiance frame’, ‘violence concerned frame’, ‘replacement and amendment frame’, ‘coexistence frame’, ‘unconstitutionality frame’, and ‘responsibility frame.’ In conclusion, it was confirmed that the newspapers of each side delivered different tones in reporting about the law according to their political tendency. They showed wide difference in the number and quality of news articles about the law. Interestingly, they kept carrying a specific frame through op-ed pages, editorials and opinion columns rather than carrying facts through straight news articles. This results confirmed the previous belief that Korean newspapers confront each other about socially sensitive and disputable issues.
