“…Despite the cultural differences in these countries, the geographically expanded replications may be attributed, according to , to the similarities of the political and media systems. Since the democratization of the country in the early 1990s, South Korea has maintained a reasonably democratic political system with the media relatively unfettered by the government (Kim and Han, 2005).…”

Using a controversial issue in South Korea, a government plan to relocate the administrative capital, this study examines attribute agenda setting. Linking survey data to an analysis of news coverage, more specifically, the article explores how television news has influenced the way the public evaluates the plan and its various attributes, i.e. potential benefits and problems of the relocation. Findings support the idea that the media could increase public salience of certain attributes by placing them more prominently in news coverage. An important outcome of attribute agenda setting was its priming effect. Issue attributes emphasized in the media were functioning as important standards by which the audience evaluated the plan. These findings, taken together, enhance the intercultural validity of attribute agenda setting

This study assesses differences in use ofFor some time, empirical research on the uses of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) focused on issues of access, digital inequalities, and descriptions of how they were used. More recently, important efforts were undertaken to explore possible relations between specific uses of new communication technologies and individual and societal level consequences. Currently, research is emphasizing more complex models that explore the potential of ICTs to foster supplementary or alternative pathways to democratic political engagement and societal integration.Robust research traditions within the fields of communication , political science (Delli-Carpini & Keeter, 1996;Huckfeldt, Beck, Dalton, & Levine, 1995), and sociology (Gamson, 1992) have consistently linked information and information seeking/processing behaviors with different forms of civic and political engagement. While there have been some disagreements regarding the boundaries and causal ordering of information seeking and participatory behaviors, current understanding privileges theoretical models in which exposure to

“…Some scholars believe that newspapers engender interest to politics more effectively than TV does and that there is a positive relationship between reading newspaper and participation in traditional political activities (Liu et al, 2013;Moy, Gastil,2006), whereas television viewing may in fact function as an obstacle to political participation and reflection (Kim, Miejeong, 2005).…”

“…For example, Kim and Miejeong are convinced that news media stimulate the flow of political information through the network of individuals, thereby encouraging personal reflection and group discussions. This role of news media in stimulating political interest is important because interested citizens in general are more likely to participate (Kim, Miejeong, 2005).…”
