ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze some main daily newspapers' report attitudes toward meteorological disasters having brought about a great deal of damage in 2012, such as typhoons, heavy rains and heat waves, out of all the disaster reports of the Korean media. As a result of analyzing the characteristics of reports, this study discovered that the Korean media tended to focus on reports about disasters during the period of a particular disaster, and most of the repots about disasters were basic information-centered 'Straight' type reports rather than in-depth reports. As a result of analyzing report contents, this study found out that the Korean media failed to provide sufficient information about disaster prevention and countermeasures for future similar disasters since most of the reports were focused on 'information about disasters' and 'damage extent'. As a result of analyzing news frames of disaster reports, this study found out there was no large difference in frame type of disaster reports between news media, and the majority of reports had 'damage/countermeasure information frames' substantially needed for readers having read news articles.
