The main purpose of this paper is to examine, on the basis of survey data and contents of domestic newspapers, Korean journalists' views on international affairs and their influences on the contents of foreign news of domestic newspapers.
The quantitative analysis of Korean journalists views on international affairs and contents of foreign news of domestic newspapers strongly shows U,5.-oriented view of world politics. Foreign news of domestic newspapers have given a heavy emphasis on politico-military relations among great powers. On the other hand, major issues of the Third World, North-South relations, New International Communication Order have not been sufficiently covered in domestic newspapers.
Although the present U.S.-oriented view of Korean journalism on world affairs is partially inevitable for the reality of confrontation between South and North Korea, it cannot be denied that Korean journalists and newspapers are heavily influenced by the present international communication order and thus could not develop an independent view of international politics and communication.
In a long-term perspective, to cultivate the national identity in the era of globalism, Korean journalism should develop a more balanced view on international affairs.
