Ghost of Authoritarianism Past? Exploring the Recurring Ideological Divide in the ROK Newspaper Landscape, 1988-2008.

Bachelor thesis | Koreastudies (BA)
This thesis offers a historical and political analysis of the recurring pattern of polarized political advocacy found among print and online newspapers in the Republic of Korea (ROK). It argues that the authoritarian imprint left on the political system’s institutional features by democratic transition has contributed to the politicization of print newspapers initially, and that of online newspapers subsequently. It also provides a critical reading of the methodological framework found in D. Hallin and P. Mancini’s Comparing Media Systems from the viewpoint of the ROK democratization experience.
