ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze whether political YouTube use changes citizens' political participation as a technology for democracy(ICT for Democracy). As for the research methodology, a quantitative method was applied to prove the research hypothesis based on an email survey. As a result of the study, first, it was found that there was a difference in political participation between political YouTube users and non-users. Second, the results of analyzing the influence of political participation by input variables of political YouTube users confirmed that ideological variables are very important and educational background and income are also important variables. Third, through these results, it was found that ideological variables were important in Korea's use of political YouTube. Also, according to the ideological orientation, the types of political participation were also found to be different. In short, it was confirmed that the political YouTube user group in Korea has strong ideological polarization and is using it as a tool for political participation according to ideology.
