Abstract

This paper aims to compare and analyze the major keywords according to the political orientation of progressive and conservative newspapers by utilizing the big data of the four major domestic daily newspapers related to COVID-19, which has entered a long-term war. To this end, 93,917 news reports from Jan. 20 to Sept. 15, 2020 were divided into four stages and the major keywords of the four newspapers were implemented and analyzed in WordCloud. According to the analysis, the conservative newspaper focused on the government's response, criticism, and China's responsibility by mentioning the keywords "government," "president," "state of affairs" and "mask" more than the progressive newspaper, while the progressive newspaper uses keywords that emphasize the seriousness of the disease and the occurrence of a dangerous situation. The Chosun Ilbo found that the use of various keywords during the massive outbreak of collective infections (2.18-5.15), and that the JoongAng Ilbo used keywords criticizing government policies in relation to reports of infectious diseases such as COVID-19, but also used keywords that emphasize the seriousness of diseases used by progressive newspapers and the occurrence of dangerous situations.

본 논문은 장기전에 접어든 코로나19와 관련한 국내 주요 4개 일간지의 뉴스 빅데이터(빅카인즈)를 활용하여 진보와 보수신문의 정치적 성향 등에 따른 주요 키워드를 비교 분석하는 것을 목적으로 한다. 이를 위해 2020년 1월 20일부터 9월 15일까지 보도된 93,917건의 뉴스를 4단계로 구분하여 4개 신문사의 주요 키워드를 워드클라우드로 구현하여 분석하였다. 분석 결과, 보수신문은 진보신문보다 '정부', '대통령', '사태', '마스크' 키워드를 더 많이 언급함으로써 정부의 대응과 비판, 중국의 책임 등에 주목하였으며, 진보신문은 질병의 심각성과 위험 상황 발생을 강조하는 키워드를 많이 사용하는 것으로 나타났다. 조선일보는 대규모 집단감염 발생(2.18~5.15)기에 다양한 키워드의 사용으로 다양성을 나타내기도 하였으며 특히, 중앙일보가 코로나19와 같은 감염병 보도와 관련해서는 정부 정책을 비판하는 키워드를 사용하기도 하지만 진보신문이 사용하는 질병의 심각성과 위험한 상황 발생을 강조하는 키워드도 함께 사용한다는 점을 밝혀냈다.
