언론의 정파성과 권력 개입 : 1987년 이후 13～17대 대선캠페인 기간의 주요일간지 사설 분석

초록

The purpose of this study is to explore how media intervene in political-power creation expressing their partisanship and how it is deepened. For this, we performed a time series analysis in analyzing the major daily newspapers' editorial articles during the 13-17th presidential election campaign, traced political change of media, and then explored the social implications. Findings are as follows. It has been confirmed that, as time passes, media actively intervene in political-power creation process. Ideological tendency is gradually divided into the conservative and the progressive―Chosun-ilbo, Hankyoreh from the 14th, and Dong-A, Kyunghyang -Shinmun from the 16th. From the 16th, therethrough, major newspapers showed aspect conflicting fiercely between the so-called ‘conservative press’ and the ‘progressive press’. These media either criticize the opposite candidate or support the specific candidate depending on political stance. Based on such findings, we discuss that both the temporal point of intervention in political-power and ideological direction are affected by the structure of media ownership and the press policy of government.
