ABSTRACT

In case of the outbreak of notable incidents, it is possible to discuss the issue as agenda through mass media coverage of the issue and symbols of the issue. However, media reports have limited agendas and a little influence on the policy change. Therefore, media reports would induce a monopoly of policy by means of the popular demands or the ruling elites. It is important that symbols of environmental disaster which are created by mass media, and expansion of issues, as a tool which is utilized for specific groups. Because it expands the issues, and shows the evidences which is necessary for policy adoption. These issues could develop into agendas, which gains more attention of the public and receive supports or objections of elite groups. Issues eventually could be adopted by congress through the legislation process. This paper suggests a policy process model for follow-up studies, and argues its applicability, through understanding of concepts including issue formation and agenda-setting argued by Cobb & Elder(1995), Kingdon(1995), and Birkland(2005), and an analysis on legislation process in Korea.
