In principle, the media should be balanced and objective in reporting non-biased. This is because reports that have lost fairness and objectivity cause conflicts and divisions in society. Today, Korean journalism tends to see a noticeable increase in news reports that have lost their realism, objectivity and neutrality. The reality is that conservative and progressive media are pouring out biased reports of their own subjective and overemphasizing one side.
Regardless of conservatives and progressives, national security must be prepared and responded with one mind. This is because it is an important matter for the entire nation. Nevertheless, the reality is that the frame of conservatism and progressivism shows different positions and opinions.
This study was intended to collect articles that reported major national security issues using BigKines, extract keywords from press releases with text mining, one of the big data analysis techniques, and analyze them with network techniques to compare and analyze the media’s conservative and progressive frames on national security.
When the results of the study were analyzed by comparison, even if the reports of conservative and progressive media were the same issue, they could see that the frame of the report frame. Citing the shooting of government officials in the West Sea as an example, conservative media viewed it as a frame in which the government failed to respond properly, while progressive media focused on fact-finding reports on what North Korea reported.
Second, in the analysis of key words, conservatism is analyzed as the most important keyword in Korean security, with its representative keyword “North Korea,” while progress expresses that “president” is the most important keyword in national security and has expectations and hopes for the president. According to an analysis by WordCloud, the North Korean keyword of conservatism was the “America” with high frequency but high centrality, and “America” also proved that both conservatives and progressives play a central role in South Korea’s security.
Finally, as a result of CONCOR analysis, which determines the sidewalk frame, it can be seen that remuneration and progress deal with national security with very different frames.
Through this study, we can see that in reporting the important issue of national security, there is a window of reporting of conservatism and progress, and that the frame of national security is viewed from different angles. Freedom of speech is guaranteed, but at least until the day when the windows to look at the task of national security with national survival come straight to each other, we need to practice thinking and conscious together.
