이 논문은 미국에 거주하는 한국교민들을 주요 독자층으로 하고 있는 교민신문의 역할과 특징에 대한 탐색적 연구다. 연구자는 미국 텍사스 지역의 교민신문이 어떤 조직적인 특징을 지니고 있는지와 어떤 내용을 담고 있는지 뿐 분석했다. 그 결과 대체로 2-4명의 기자들이 교민신문에 종사하고 있었으며 대부분 타블로이드 형태의 한글판으로 제공됐다. 이러한 한글중심의 기사는 교민신문이 미국서 자라나고 태어나서 영어에 익숙한 한인 2, 3세(second or third Korean-Americans)를 주요 목표로 하고 있는 것이 아니라 한글을 읽고 말하는데 익숙한 한인 1세대를 겨냥하고 있다는 것을 암시해준다. 내용분석결과, 교민신문은 전문가 집단을 외부 칼럼니스트로 끌어들여 이민생활에 필요한 정보를 제공했다. 또한 한국에서 일어나고 있는 소식에 많은 지면을 할애했지만, 정치, 경제적인 이슈보다는 연예뉴스에 많은 비중을 뒀다. 이는 한국교민신문이 고국서 일어나는 정치적이고 경제적인 변화에 대한 심층적 분석보다는 독자들의 즐거움과 감성에 호소하는 흥미위주의 기사거리를 싣고 있음을 보여주고 있다. 한인사회를 다루는 기사들은 한인조직의 행사와 활동을 전하는데 초점을 맞췄고 종교적 행사와 신앙관련 소식도 교민신문의 중요한 부분을 차지했다. 하지만 한국고유의 문화와 전통을 소개하는 기사는 좀처럼 발견되지 않았다. 대체로, 교민신문은 교민들의 한국사회에 대한 관심을 고조시키고 이들이 미국사회에 적응하는데 도와주는 역할을 했다.
Abstract
This paper is an exploratory study on Korean ethnic media targeted to Korean population in the United States. The study analyzed not only the structural, organizational characteristics but also contents of ethnic newspapers in Texas. As a result, 2 to 4 reporters worked in Korean ethnic newspapers and they were provided in tabloid format in Korean language. This shows that Korean ethnic newspapers are targeted to Korean immigrants who are familiar with Korean language, not to second or third Korean-Americans who are familiar with English language. The result of content analysis showed that Korean ethnic newspapers utilized professional experts as columnists who provided much information necessary for immigrant life. Also, the newspapers devoted much space to Korean news that occurred in Korean society. However, they focused much on entertainment news rather than political and economic issues in Korea. This means that Korean ethnic newspapers carry news appealing to the amusement of Korean immigrants rather than transmitting in-depth analysis of political, economic issues. Furthermore, stories dealing with Korean-American community in the United States focused on events and activities of Korean-American organizations. Also, stories containing religious faiths and events also became an important part of Korean ethnic media. However, stories which introduced the Korean traditional culture and customs were seldom found. Overall, Korean ethnic media played an important role not only reinforcing Korean immigrants' connection with Korean society but also helping them to adapt to American society.
