韩国新闻事业历史述评

A Historical Narration and Comment on Journalism Enterprise in the Republic of Korea

本文介绍韩国新闻事业的发展,包括早期朝鲜王国和日本统治时期的背景情况。朝鲜早期,一些从日本回国的维新派知识分子曾希望通过办报来推动朝鲜的现代化。殖民地时期,日本统治当局在朝鲜实行彻头彻尾的专制统治。美国军事统治当局扶植起一个原本弱小的韩国右翼报业。韩国新闻业经历了李承晚、朴正熙和全斗焕三个时期的独裁统治,从1987年开始转向民主化。韩国学者对媒介与权力集团关系的批判、对"钱袋(寸志)新闻"的批判,都值得中国新闻界思考和借鉴。

This thesis introduces the development of journalism in the Republic of Korea,in- cluding its background in earlier eras of Korean Dynasty and the Japanese Colony.In early eras,reformist intellectuals returning from Japan hoped to advance Korea’s modernization through launching newspapers.In the colony era,Japanese authorities adopted a total abso- lutism rule.The U.S.military authority assisted some weak right-wing newspapers in the Republic of Korea.After that,South Korean journalism experienced the dictatorships of Syngman Rhee,Park Chung Hee and Chun Doo Hwan.Since 1987,it has been democra- tized.Korean scholars’criticism on the relation between media and power-holding groups and their refutations on wallet journalism are worthwhile to be learnt by Chinese journalism societies.
