‘조국 사태’ 이후 문재인 정부 대입제도 개편 과정을 다룬 신문 사설의 프레임 분석 연구

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to figure out how the newspapers report the educational agenda by analyzing the newspaper editorials on college admission re-reform after the ‘Cho Guk scandal.’ We analyzed the editorials on college admission re-reform to enhance fairness published in Chosun Ilbo, Dong-A Ilbo, Kyunghyang Shinmun, and Hankyoreh from 1 September 2019 to 28 November 2019 after the ‘Cho Guk scandal.’ We used the appraisal system suggested by Martin & White (2005) as an analysis framework. We found that Chosun Ilbo upbraided Cho Guk himself to criticize the current administration. Dong-A Ilbo emphasized the agency of university, and Kyunghyang Shinmun expressed the opinion based on the ideal goal of education. Hankyoreh connected the educational agenda to macro-social structure and pointed out the potential limitation of the educational policy. We found that Chosun Ilbo and Dong-A Ilbo judged agents more than the other two newspapers. All four newspapers blocked different opinions by contracting the dialogical space. The news editorial’s frame of college admission reform after the ‘Cho Guk scandal’ is similar to that of college admission reform through the public debate in 2018. This study contributed to the understanding of how the newspaper set the education agenda by using the specific frames.
