Abstract

Based on network agenda-setting theory, this study attempted to analyze media reports about suicide from 2000 to 2020 in order to find solutions for suicide problem in the Korean society. Results showed that top 10 key words in media were suicide, death leap, death, attempt, supposition, discovery, men, pessimism. Those key words were appeared similarly and contunually in the media. In addition, both newspapers and broadcastings had similar reports trend, so it is plausible to consider inter-media agenda setting relations between newspapers and broadcasings.

이 연구는 한국 사회에서 심각한 사회문제로 인식되고 있는 자살 문제를 해결하기 위한 대안을 찾고자 20여년간 미디어에서 자살문제를 어떻게 바라보고 있는지 네트워크의제설정이론을 기반으로 살펴보았다. 연구 결과에서 자살, 투신, 사망, 시도, 추정, 발견, 남성, 기도, 비관, 여성 등과 같은 핵심어들이 상위 10대 핵심어로 나타났고, 이러한 핵심어들은 유사하게 지속적으로 등장하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 신문과 방송에서도 비교적 유사한 형태의 보도 경향이 나타나며, 미디어 간 의제 설정 관계가 있는 것으로 추론된다. 이러한 결과를 통해서 자살문제를 해결을 위한 미디어 보도의 방향성에 대해서 대안을 고려해 볼 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
