This study took note how the document issue of martial law review by the Defense Security Command (after this, the DSC) that emerged in 2018 in the modern history of Korea, which has painful memories of martial law, reveals frames to inmates in different values of conservative and progressive newspapers.
Analysis period is from July 5, 2018 when the martial law review by the DSC was first released through the press since the end of September 1 when the DSC was disassembled and the Defense Security Support Command was established, it was the last article on this matter until September 12, the situation was divided into two sections, with the criterion set on August 3 when the Blue House ordered the dissolution of the DSC. The analysis target selected Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo, and Dong-A Ilbo as conservative newspapers by referring to preceding research, The Hangyeorye newspaper and Kyunghyang newspaper were selected as progressive newspapers. Only editorial and column were selected for the articles, as a result, a total of 63 articles from five newspapers extracted 961 sentences related to the issue and began to analyze them. Using content analysis as a method of analysis, I used six analysis items were utilized: information source, tone of an argument, statement style, small frame, technical frame, and symbol expression, I was attempted to change the existing method of frame analysis study by trying to analyze by combining items that were not attempted in the existing method of study.
According to the analysis, the conservative and progressive media showed biased use of certain sources, making them more favorable to them. The tone of an argument was the biggest frame difference item, there's something in common that they use the most judgmental argument tone, in particular, they showed a wide gap in a target of criticism and use when they had critical tones, while shifting the blame for the issue to each other. Both conservative and progressive media focused on analytical methods because of their characteristic of editorials and columns, Combining analytical statements with small frames increases the proportion of emotional appeal by conservative media. In the small frame, both conservative and progressive media were mainly used rational appeal for the basic role of newspapers. In the technical frame, the anecdotal frame has an even higher percentage of both the conservatism and the progress step, reflecting the circumstances in which the event has yet to be investigated accurately. Especially, in the topic frame, the conservative and progressive media were able to identify differences in their framing strategy using the name. Finally, in symbolic expression, the progressive press had a relative proportion of superiority in directive expression and the conservative had a relative proportion of superiority in implicative expression.
In conclusion, the differences in frames in this issue are apparent in some of the items or in bonds of items, overall, the biggest difference is that the conservative media uses a more consumer-centered frame through emotion, for in-depth analysis, I identified that more diversification of item combinations would allow to identify the differences in detailed frames.
