오보 문제에 대한 기자 인식 : 심층 인터뷰를 중심으로

This study examined the opinions of reporters so as to propose pre/post measures for preventing misinformation. By transforming the hierarchical model of Shoemaker and Reese into three levels, measures to prevent misinformation were derived. In-depth interviews were conducted with reporters working for daily newspapers, broadcasters, and news agencies. The results show that the reporters identified organizational issues as the key issue among the causes of misinformation. That is, the risk of misinformation increases because the press accelerates the competition for single and breaking news while operating the existing news production system as it is. As a specific measure, at the reporter level, faithful writing and re-establishing the role of journalists in the digital age were suggested. At the media level, the reporters suggested strengthening the online news consumption system, reinforcing continuous education in ethics, introducing various article formats and evaluation systems, and establishing an organization to respond to misinformation. At the level of external environment, the necessity of self-regulation to overcome partisanship and improvement of the portal news consumption environment was suggested. There were mixed arguments for and against including the press in the punitive damages claim system, but consensus was confirmed on the need to strengthen the responsibility of the press.
