Abstract

This paper aims to investigate political stances of news producers or news organizations by analyzing editorials from two Korean newspapers, Chosun Ilbo and the Hankyoreh, which are totally different in ideology, both qualitatively and quantitatively. In particular, the headlines from 16 editorials and 14 editorials from the two newspapers respectively published from May 28 to June 27 were analyzed in terms of political stances to a U.S-North Korea Summit. Moreover, two editorials published right after the U.S-North Summit were quantitatively analyzed within Martin and White (2005)'s framework. As a result, it was found that Chosun ilbo showed a negative stance to the summit by employing the 'feeling' factor within an attitude component most frequently, whereas the Hankyoreh was overwhelmingly positive toward the issue and the dialogue expansion factor within an engagement component is most frequently used to deliver its positive stance toward the issue.

본 논문은 뉴스 생산자인 저널리스트, 혹은 언론사의 정치적 입장이 신문사설에서 어떻게 나타나는 가를 평가어를 근거로 살펴보는데 목적이 있다. 이 목적을 위해 이념이 상이한 한국의 조선일보와 한겨레신문을 기준으로 북미(미북) 정상회담에 관한 사설들을 질적 양적 분석하였다. 구체적으로 북미정상회담이 열렸던 6월 12일 전후 5월 28일부터 6월 27일까지의 30일 동안에 실린 조선일보의 16개의 사설들과 한겨레에 실린 14개의 사설을 두고 첫째로 사설 제목에 드러난 평가어들을 부정, 긍정, 중립으로 분류하였다. 질적 목적을 위해 6월 12일 미국과 북한의 공동선언문이 발표된 직후 출판된 2개의 사설들을 마틴과 화이트(2005)의 평가어 틀을 기준으로 분석하였다. 분석 결과 조선일보 사설은 북미정상회담에 대한 부정적 견해를 감정평가에 의존하여 기술하고 있으며, 한겨레는 북미정상회담에 대한 긍정적 견해를 '공간확대'와 같은 '개입' 요소를 통해 객관화시키고 있다는 점을 알 수 있었다.
