뉴스 미디어 레퍼토리에 따른 후기 청소년의 정치적 시민성 차이에 관한 연구

초록

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between news consumption and citizenship in post-adolescence. Data was collected from surveys of post-adolescents aged from 19 to 25 (N=271). First, the type of news media repertoire that post-adolescent had access to were identified. Cluster analysis identified three groups, <light users>, <mass media users>, and <online news users> by media platforms, and three groups <light users>, <soft news users>, and <soft and hard news users>. Second, the differences in post-adolescents’ citizenship by the type of news media repertoire were examined. Overall, the difference in political knowledge, political interests, and participation between <mass media users> and <online news users> was not significant. However, the difference between <soft and hard news users>, and <light users> or <soft news users> was obvious. These findings suggested that the effects of a media repertoire, rather than those of a single media, should be considered as being of more importance.
