PD저널리즘과 기자저널리즘의 차이에 관한 연구: 조직 문화와 시사고발 프로그램의 구성적 특성의 연관성을 중심으로

Abstract

Since the report on Prof. Hwang Woosuk's concoctions of his papers on stem cells, various discussions on the possibilities and problems of PD journalism are taking place among journalism scholars. However studies on PD journalism are still in their early stages and some even criticize the distinction between PD journalism and report journalism. This study is conducted on the premises that there’s a distinction between PD journalism and reporter journalism and to show that the cause that brings about their differences are related to their different organizational cultures. By analyzing ‘In-depth 60 minutes’ and ‘News File’ of KBS, this study shows what kind of differences can be seen between PD journalism and reporter journalism in the procedures of choosing and representing the topic. As the result of the study, I was able to find out that ‘In-depth 60 minutes’ has scene-based topics and its narrative follows the flow of pictures whereas ‘News File’ has manuscript-based topics and its narrative follows the flow of the manuscript. The study also shows that these differences are based on the different organizational cultures of the two kind of journalism. Producers’ group guarantees freedom in order to embody creativity which is its primary value while reporters’group sets relatively strict rules in order to fulfil accuracy which is its primary goal. These differences between the two group bring about different cultures and different procedures in choosing and representing the topic and eventually draw a distinctive line between PD journalism and reporter journalism.
