방송사의 소유와 재원 구조 차이에 따른 기자의 자율성 인식 비교

배정근(Jung Kun Pae) 한국콘텐츠학회 2018 한국콘텐츠학회논문지 Vol.18 No.3

본 연구는 자원의존이론에 근거해 방송사의 소유구조(공영/민영)와 재원구조(고광고 의존/저광고 의존) 가 기자들이 느끼는 취재보도의 자유도와 언론자유를 제약하는 주된 요인, 직무의 자율성 만족도, 편집 · 편성 정책 만족도에 미치는 영향을 방송사 기자에 대한 인식조사를 통해 실증적으로 확인했다. 그 결과 방송사의 소유구조와 재원구조는 모두 기자들이 느끼는 취재 및 보도의 자유도 인식에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인됐다. 반면 자율성에 대한 만족도는 재원구조만 영향을 미쳤고, 회사의 편집 · 편성 정책에 대한 만족도와 언론 자유를 제약하는 요인에 대한 인식은 소유구조가 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인됐다. 이같은 결과는 광고수익 의존도가 기자들의 취재보도에 영향을 미치며, 특히 공영방송은 정부나 정치권력과 광고수익 의존도가 동시에 영향을 미치고 있다는 사실이 확인됐다는 점에서 의의가 있다. This study empirically examined the influence of ownership structure(public/private) and revenue structure (high dependency on advertisement/low dependency on advertisement) of broadcasting companies upon journalists’ perceptions regarding the degree of freedom in news reporting, the factors that limit freedom of press, satisfaction with the work autunomy and satisfaction with company`s policies of news reporting and editing in light of resource dependency theory. The result showed that both the ownership structure and revenue structure of broadcasting companies influenced the journalists’ perception regarding the degree of freedom in news gathering and reporting. It was also confirmed that only the revenue structure affected the level of satisfaction with work autonomy while the degree of satisfaction with the company’s policies on editing and programing was influenced by the ownership structure. The perception of the factors that limit the freedom of press was found to be influenced only by the ownership structure, as did the satisfaction with policies on editing and programing. These results are very significant as they show that the level of dependence on advertising revenue affects journalists’ news reporting, and that journalists of public broadcasting companies are influenced by the dependence on government or other political powers as well as on advertising revenue.

본 연구는 그동안 국내 저널리즘 연구에서 전혀 다루지 않았던 뉴스제보의 특징과 취재관행을 이론화하려는 탐색적 시도이다. 이를 위해 한국기자협회의 기자상 공적서에 나타난 제보의 특성을 파악하는 한편 언론사 제보접수시스템 조사와 취재기자 심층면접을 통해 취재관행을 파악했다. 그 결과 제보는 언론의 제도화된 취재원이 아닌 제보자로부터 주로 나오고 사적인 동기와 피해구제 목적에서 기인하며, 인권유린과 안전에 대한 위험, 비리를 고발하는 내용이 많았다. 제보를 취재보도하는 관행에서 언론은 제보의 공적가치와 특종 가능성을 중요시하면서도, 이를 적극적으로 수집하는 체제가 미비하고 뉴스가치에 대해서도 별로 기대하지 않는 소극적 태도를 보였다. 제보자가 제보 매체나 기자를 선택하는 데는 영향력, 기사화 가능성, 제보자 의도 반영, 제보자 비밀 보호 등이 중요하고 이는 결국 신뢰 문제로 귀결된다. 기사화 과정에서 기자들은 여러 윤리적 딜레마에 직면하는데 제보동기와 사실관계를 분리하는 실용적 접근 등으로 이에 대응하지만 이 과정에서 편향되고 부정확한 뉴스가 생산될 위험성이 존재한다. This study is an exploratory attempt to describe and analyze the jaebo practice of Korean news media, which has been in the blind spot of journalism research in Korea until now. Jaebo means to disclose or deliver secret information to news media for publicity. It has considerable similarity with leaks or whistle blowing, but also has some differences. For this objective, content analysis were conducted on records of excellent news gathering stories to find characteristics of jaebo, while in-depth interviews with journalists were paralleled to examine the practice of dealing with jaebo. The results show that jaebo comes mostly from informal sources and inside whistle blowing strongly motivated by personal reasons and damage recovery, and are often concerning human rights abuses, safety issues, and the exposé of corruption. In the practice of turning jaebo into concrete news stories, journalists lay importance on public value of the disclosed information and on creating exclusives stories, and they think a stricter verification process is needed on the disclosed facts in order to check their credibility. The criteria for disclosers choosing media companies or journalists are determined by the companies’ and journalists’ levels of influence, the likelihood of whether the story will be published or not, reflection of the disclosers’ intent in the news, protection of disclosers’ identities, etc., all of which are related to the issue of trust. Journalists face various ethical dilemmas when they transform disclosed information into news articles. Although they respond to such challenges through practical approaches, such as separating the motive behind disclosure from the actual facts, there is a risk that this pratice will lead to biased and inaccurate news.

This study was conducted to examine how corporate news in daily newspapers socially reconstruct corporate realities by using content-analysis method. The results suggest that there has been a sharp increase in the amount of corporate news reports over the last 15 years. However, facts-oriented ``straight news`` constituted more than half of the corporate reports, while the reports significantly lacked depth, reflection of readers` interests and perspectives, and comprehensive analysis. More than 90 percent of the sources of the corporate reports were identified as corporations and its members, which suggest that the journalists were relying heavily on corporate sources. Also, the top 30 conglomerates accounted for more than 75 percent of the reports, demonstrating a bias toward large corporations. This percentile seemed to be on the rise. There were more positive reports than neutral or negative reports in terms of their tone, and the number of negative articles has been decreasing since the newspaper companies became financially unstable.

정보공개법을 통한 알권리 실현의 한계

배정근(Jung-Kun Pae) 한국언론학회 2009 한국언론학보 Vol.53 No.1

The right to know is a new interpretation of constitutional right in which a citizen, who used to be a passive receiver of information, is given the right of active requester of information. The Official Information Disclosure Act(OIDA) was introduced to ensure the people’s right of access to information compiled by public institutions. The main purpose of the study is to empirically evaluate how the OIDA, which has been in effect for 10 years now, as a system, realizes the citizen’s inherent right of free information, and what limitations are revealed. Through a research of the rulings of the Supreme Court on OIDA cases for the past 10 years, it was found that vast majority of cases were the disputes on the legitimacy of non-disclosure decision by public institution based on eight exemptions clause, showing the importance of the clause in OIDA. The Supreme Court has showed a general tendency to value the interest of publicity more than the interest to be closed in these cases, in which the public right to know clashed with other constitutional right or legal interests to be protected from disclosure. Among the cases judged in favor of non-disclosure, personal information was the most common cause. In addition, the ratio of the causes including information related to the protection of administration efficiency and national security was also revealed high. Finally, with a qualitative analysis, this study found that public institutions have tended to interpret exemption rules discretionally at their convenience. This tells some systematic imperfection of the non-disclosure clause. The implications of these findings for future research are discussed.

본 연구는 새로운 뉴스 콘텐츠로서 카드뉴스를 분석하고 디지털시대에 뉴스가치의 변화에 대해 살펴보았다. 본 연구는 지난 2015년 하반기에 국내 언론사를 통해 보도된 1020개의 카드뉴스에 대한 내용분석을 통해, 뉴스가치에 대한 전통적인 개념들이 변화되고 있음을 확인하였다. 카드뉴스는 새롭게 취재하여 기사화하기보다는 저장된 기존 뉴스들을 재활용하면서, 뉴스가치로서 시의성 보다는 정보제공과 사회적 가치, 오락적 요소를 강조하고 있다. 이는 새로운 뉴스전달방식으로써 카드뉴스는 기존 뉴스에 대한 대체재가 아니라 보완재임을 보여준다. 또한 역피라밋 형태의 글쓰기보다는 리스트 나열형의 기사 작성 방식이 선호되고, 취재원으로서 길거리 일반인(Man-on-the streets)이 자주 인용됨이 발견되었다. This paper explores the characteristics of curated news content. With content analysis of 1020 news clips, the study found that news values immersed in card news differed from those of traditional news. Specifically, timeliness was not regarded as a key factor in newsworthiness. Rather, information and social impacts were highly emphasized. Considering news consumers depend on traditional news for timely news, curated news content was not a replacement for traditional news but a supplement. By refurbishing photos from previous news reports and googling the web for related information, curated news reiterates social meaning and provides relevant information. Furthermore, salience of human interest can be explained by entertaining characteristics of curated news. In story forms, the list technique has several important points to stress, and was more frequently used than inverted pyramids. Another key finding of this study is man-on-the street as the most quoted main sources in the curatorial context.

정보원으로서의 광고주와 신문사의 관계성 연구 광고주 영향력에 대한 기자와 광고주의 상호 인식비교를 중심으로

The purpose of the present study is to examine the changing relationship and the role of advertising between sources and newspapers, which have faced a financial crisis in recent years. The results showed that newspaper journalists perceived the advertisers to be more influential than newspapers. In contrast, the advertisers perceived that newspapers are more powerful. While the frequency of favorable news requests from advertisers is similar in both groups, the advertisers recognize that it is more likely that the acceptance of favorable news coverage, requests for negative news reports from advertisers, and the acceptable control of negative news reports are higher in advertisers than newspaper journalists. The journalists showed concerns that the present market driven journalism may affect the negative side of journalism, such as negligence of watch dog, biased news reports toward conglomerates, impair of trust, distortion of economic reality, and infringement of right to know of consumers. While these negative factors are encroachment of journalism value, the damage of trust toward newspaper news may lead to the decline of third party endorsement, which public relations has strongly supported for decades as a theoretical framework.
