The patterns of South Korean newspapers reporting on the Ukraine war based on Maeil Business Newspaper & Chosun Ilbo

The goal of this paper is to examine how the South Korean media has reported the Ukraine war, which began on February 24, 2022. It is also to see how the pro-Ukrainian and anti-Russian reporting trends that some argue have been expressed. To this end, the articles written on the newspaper pages of the Maeil Business Newspaper and the Chosun Ilbo were analyzed.<br/> As a result, there were many articles citing western media reports, many of which were neutral. The rate of writing articles citing Russian media or Korean reporters visiting overseas sites for their own coverage was relatively low.<br/> And also there were far more negative articles about Russia than about Ukraine. This is due to the influence of the US and European media, which are engaged in a proxy war with Russia. However, even if it is bad for Russia, it cannot be concluded that the news content is false.<br/> If there is anything wrong with Russia, it is the role of the media to point out as it is. Of course, it is important to listen to the positions of the warring parties and write a balanced article.
