This paper is a study that discusses critical and practical news literacy education in Korean language education by applying the ‘fast agenda’ concept of communication theory to actual news analysis in line with changes in the new media ecosystem in the digital age. With Internet newspaper social news ‘Cho Yu-na missing’ as a keyword, the ‘property agenda’ composition of news articles and the pattern of transfer of attributes of audiences through comments were analyzed. As a result of the analysis, the flow of attributes of news articles was ignited in the order of personal-society-political. The sum of personal attributes in news articles was 56.4%, social attributes 23.1%, and political attributes 20.5%. The reaction of the audience was confirmed through comments, and although the properties of the news showed an aspect of being transferred to the audience, it was confirmed that not only the flow of properties but also the reactions to other properties appeared together. However, the sum of personal attributes in comments was 64.8%, the sum of social attributes was 11.3%, and the sum of political attributes was 24.0%. This shows that the formation of social discourse and practical news literacy on pending social issues were insignificant. This study is significant in suggesting a direction for news literacy education from the perspective of Korean language education by analyzing news that is in contact with learners' actual lives.
