한중 전통 매체의 학교폭력 보도 프레임 비교 연구―의미연결망 분석을 중심으로

This study aims to comparatively analyze the framing of school violence coverage in traditional media in South Korea and China, examining how the two countries’ media perceive and discourse on the same social issue. For this purpose, headlines related to school violence were collected from Chosun Ilbo and People’s Daily between 2022 and 2024, and a semantic network analysis was conducted. The analysis revealed that Korean media emphasized keywords such as “perpetrator,” “victim,” forming a responsibility attribution frame and showing an event-centered reporting tendency with moral accountability focus. Chinese media highlighted keywords such as “law,” “education,” forming a hopeful solution frame and emphasizing prevention, institutional improvement, and social harmony. These differences reflect institutional and cultural factors, including Korea’s press freedom and commercial competition environment versus China’s state-led media structure and socialist discourse tradition.
