Media coverage must be objectivity and consistency. To do this, it is necessary for a line of reporters to write articles based on reason. If a frontline reporter is emotionally involved in writing an article, no matter how much he complements it at his desk, it is inevitable that the objectivity and coherence of the press will be significantly compromised.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to find objectivity and consistency in articles related to Japan reported by the Korean media. This is because they are dominated by the idea of "Japan = evil", and when writing articles related to Japan, reason disappears and only emotions remain.
No matter how much of a reporter you are, it is difficult to get out of the effects of the relentless "brainwashing" that has continued since you were a child. The "anti-Japanese article" created by the anti-Japanese reporter further pollutes the spiritual world of ordinary Koreans and worsens Japan-South Korea relations.
Such a chronic problem of the Korean media can be immediately confirmed by looking only at the double standard of expressing the yen as "crashed" and the won with "breakthrough". If the other party is Japan, the objectivity and consistency of the press was lost from the beginning. The attitude of the South Korean media reporting the situation of both countries facing the same "rise in the market price against the dollar" (decrease in the value of their own money) is an extreme double standard.
The Chosun Ilbo and Dong-A Ilbo, which represent Korean conservative newspapers, are no exception. Regarding the situation in both countries, there is a tendency to report to the yen and the won as follows.
(Example of article title)
"Crashing Japanese Yen, lowest in 7 years" 2022.03.29, Chosun Ilbo
"The value of a circle that crashes without wings ... the lowest in 20 years" 2022.06.07, Chosun Ilbo
"Won-Dollar 1270 won breakthrough... Soaring even with Hong Nam Ki's remarks" 2022.04.23, Chosun Ilbo
"Won-dollar surpasses 1300 won ... the highest in 13 years" 2022.06.23, Chosun Ilbo
The same was true for the Dong-A Ilbo.
"Crashing Yen..." Bad Yen Depreciation "and Japanese Economy" Rattling "" 2022.04.19, Dong-A Ilbo
"The value of the yen, crashing while approaching 130 yen per dollar" 2022.04.20, Dong-A Ilbo
"Won-dollar 15 won soars ... maximum width in 15 months" 2022.06.08, Dong-A Ilbo
"Won-dollar 1300 won is just around the corner ... the highest in 13 years" 2022.06.22, Dong-A Ilbo
Despite the same situation in Japan (yen) and South Korea (won), the Korean media mainly use expressions that bring a negative image to Japan, such as "yen crash" and "worst in 20 years". using. On the other hand, South Korea is mainly described as "exceeding 1270 won" and "the best in 13 years".
If the Korean media wants to maintain minimal consistency as a media, choosing one of the following two cases will keep it consistent.
case 1:
-Example of expression about Japan: "Crashing circle, the lowest in 20 years"
-Example of expression about South Korea: "Crashing won, the worst in 13 years"
Case 2:
-Example of expression about Japan: "Over 135 yen per dollar, the best in 20 years"
-Example of expression about South Korea: "Over 1300 won per dollar, the highest in 13 years"
However, today's Korean media mainly chooses the expression of Case 1 (“crash”, “lowest”) that strongly gives a negative image to Japan, and the expression of Case 2 (“breakthrough”) to South Korea.", "The best") was mainly selected. It's inconsistent on its own.
Such a problem may seem trivial, but it can be seen as effectively one of the "image fabrications". The reason why the image of "Japan = evil" has taken root in today's Korean minds is that the long-term fabrication of such a clever image by the Korean media also occupies a large proportion.
The reality is that the Korean media, which should focus on overcoming the Korean misunderstanding that "Japan = evil", is rather at the forefront of strengthening the negative image of Japan in this way. I'm very sorry.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Korean media has already lost its basics as a media in this respect. There is no example of a country where the media does not work has become a developed country.
