ABSTRACT

This study aims to establish a strategic foundation for enhancing the public value and accessibility of modern newspaper archives through a comparative analysis of their structural characteristics in Korea and abroad. Seven representative cases were examined: four domestic platforms (Korea Newspaper Archive, Old Newspaper Digital Archive, Database of Modern Korean Studies, and Naver News Library) and three international platforms (Chronicling America, Newspapers.com, and British Newspaper Archive). The analysis focused on five key dimensions: governance and collaborative structures, content formats and levels of digitization, service delivery and access models, metadata structures, and copyright policies. The findings categorize these services into four operational models: public institution-led, public-private partnership, private enterprise-led, and university research institute-based. These models demonstrate notable differences in terms of service sustainability, openness, and metadata standardization. Based on these results, the study proposes practical strategies for developing sustainable collaborative frameworks, standardizing article-level metadata, enhancing data accessibility, and establishing systematic mechanisms for copyright disclosure.
