Abstract
The research focused on two major Korean newspapers; Dong-A Daily and The Hankyoreh, which are known for the different extremes in their editorial tone. The study examined 451 randomly selected news articles from the two, and analyzed their contents and types of assessments on Cross-Strait relations issues. The analysis looked at how two newspapers perceived the problems between China and Taiwan, and how different their outlooks on the same issue. By doing so, it also provided insights on the issues Korean media has been interested in.
In order to answer key questions of this study, content analysis and framing analysis were chosen as the main research methods. The studied articles on Cross-strait relations were published between August 1992 and August 2012.
In conclusion, in terms of media frame type, majority of news coverage by Dong-A Daily and The Hankyoreh on Cross-Strait relations used episodic frame. The two most frequent topics are the negative effect on the political security in East Asia and the negative impact on economy which both are related to Korea’s national interest. The two news agencies didn’t show any noticeable differences in their type of assessments and frames on these issues. In most cases, both used the information available by other foreign news agencies and the official government announcements as their basis of the stories, and they were quoted in articles. Although some reports have a far unfavorable view, the most tends to remain neutral. This concludes that in delivering the same issue on Cross-Strait relations, the two newspapers show only little difference.
