미군 점령기의 재일조선인 신문 미디어 연구

Abstract

This study focuses on the process of newspaper creation and change in the newspaper Choren Chuo Jiho, and discusses the institutional newspaper controversy surrounding the campaign to strengthen the institutional newspaper and the characteristics of the culture page. This newspaper was first published after Korea’s national liberation as the organ paper of the Central General Headquarters of the Federation of Korean Residents in Japan(Choren), and it promoted the Central General Headquarters of the Choren during a short two-year period. Around 1949, the Choren’s Central General Headquarters, keenly aware of the need to strengthen its official newspaper, decided to make the national-language edition of the Choren Chuo Jiho a daily publication. The Central General Headquarters of Choren and its affiliated organizations promoted a large-scale campaign to strengthen the organization’s official newspaper, which led to consolidation and separation between them. In addition, the culture page, which was established prior to the publication of the national language version of Choren Chuo Jiho, was written jointly by Zainichi Koreans and Japanese. In this culture page, cultural activities such as theatrical performances by Zainichi Koreans were mainly introduced and the North Korean regime was promoted.
