Resistant gratification? National identity and political reactance in TikTok use across Korea and China
This study extends the Uses and Gratifications (U&G) framework by integrating sociopolitical constructs — specifically, psychological reactance and patriotism – to examine motivations behind continued TikTok use. While U&G has traditionally focused on individual-level functional gratifications, global platforms now operate within political and cultural tensions, calling for a broader analytical lens. Drawing on survey data from South Korean and C…
How Generative AI Went From Innovation to Risk
Technological progress breeds both innovation and potential risks, a duality exemplified by the recent debate over generative artificial intelligence (GAI). This study examines how GAI has become a perceived risk in the Korean public sphere. To explore this, we analyzed news articles ( N = 56,468) and public comments ( N = 68,393) from early 2023 to mid-2024, a period marked by heightened interest in GAI. Our analysis focused on articles mentioni…
Rethinking Media Users in the Age of AI and Algorithmic Mediation
We have collected 16 research essays on how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping media, communication, and public life. The authors describe and prescribe how people respond to AI in real settings, such as journalists transitioning to algorithmic newsrooms, students utilizing ChatGPT, and policymakers searching for fairness and transparency. Across all articles, trust, ethics, and context should and could surpass AI’s technical power. We cla…
Perception and attitude toward the regulation of online video streaming (in South Korea)
As the production and consumption of live video streaming have increased, a general concern is that live video streaming might yield social problems. This paper investigated how people perceived the current status of live video streaming through a nationwide survey. The survey was conducted with 825 users and 335 non-users in South Korea. The results demonstrate that people perceived live video streaming has more impact on adolescents than themse…
Mapping the Evolution of Media Management and Industry Studies in Journalism & Mass Communication Quarterly
To draw a picture of the evolution of media management research in the context of published scholarly work, this invited piece reviews works related to media management and industry studies published in JMCQ for the past 100 years. Initially, attention was paid to understanding the basics of newspaper as an economic entity. Since then, the status of chain ownership and consolidation, impacts of consolidation on newspaper content, intermedia compe…
The interplay between social media virality metrics and message framing in influence perception of pro-environmental messages and behavioral intentions
Infinite Opinion Sets and Relative Accuracy
We can have credences in an infinite number of propositions—that is, our opinion set can be infinite. Accuracy-first epistemologists have devoted themselves to evaluating credal states with the help of the concept of ‘accuracy’. Unfortunately, under several innocuous assumptions, infinite opinion sets yield several undesirable results, some of which are even fatal, to accuracy-first epistemology. Moreover, accuracy-first epistemologists cannot ci…
Factors Affecting Turnover and Turnaway Intention of Journalists in South Korea
This study examined the factors affecting turnover and turnaway intention of newspaper journalists in South Korea through the lens of the push–pull–mooring framework. Survey results of 899 journalists showed that traffic boosting practices push journalists away from organizations. Particularly, senior journalists were more frustrated with the prevalence of traffic boosting practices, while juniors were more sensitive to growth potential and job s…
News Engagement
The ways in which audiences engage and interact with news has flourished thanks to the proliferation of digital platforms (Park, Fisher, Lee, et al. 2020). Our ever-changing media environment has l
Impact of vertical integration on movie scheduling in Korea
This study investigates the impact of vertical integration on movie screening decisions using data from the Korean movie industry (Korea in the text refers to the Republic of Korea, also known as South Korea). Previous studies have found that movie exhibitors (i.e. theaters) that own distributors allocated more screens when they release their affiliated movies. The novelty of this study is that it focuses on the impact of vertical integration on …

Perceived News Overload and Its Cognitive and Attitudinal Consequences for News Usage in South Korea
This study focuses on the ironic situation in which news is more available than ever but people are becoming overwhelmed and thus avoid it. A theoretical model is suggested to investigate the relationships between perceived news overload and its cognitive and attitudinal consequences among South Korean Internet users. A structural model reveals that perceived news overload induced news avoidance by increasing news fatigue and news analysis paraly…

This study examines the reasons underlying gender swapping and its impacts on online gaming behavior. While previous studies considered gender swapping to be an abnormal or rare exception in one's self-presentation, this study hypothesized that people swap genders as a rational choice based on practical benefits. An online survey was conducted with 318 male players of MMORPGs in Korea. Players swapped gender in games to gain benefits from other p…
Measuring usage concentration of smartphone applications
Using the tracking data of 1,645 smartphone users from Nielsen KoreanClick’s panel, this study examines the degree of concentration in smartphone application use in South Korea. The findings from this study are consistent with what we have learned from previous research of usage concentration and selective repertoire in a multichannel and multimedia environment. Overall, the levels of concentration in app usage are high, particularly in the commu…
The effects of television viewing, cultural proximity, and ethnocentrism on country image
We explored the effect of viewing Korean drama miniseries television programs, along with cultural proximity and ethnocentrism, on Japanese and Chinese television watchers' perceptions of Korea. By conducting a survey in Beijing and China with 621 valid samples, we confirmed the effect of viewing Korean drama miniseries television programs in shaping a positive attitude toward Korea. Furthermore, this positive attitude yielded higher levels of be…
Third-Person Effects of Internet Stock Recommendations
In this study we empirically tested the effects of the use of third-person perceptions in the context of the stock market using a sample of 109 professional stock traders and 130 members of the lay public. Findings show that people perceived anonymous information recommending stocks on the Internet as having a greater influence on others than on themselves. Additionally, participants demonstrated a third-person perception when “others” were novic…
Factors affecting e-book reader awareness, interest, and intention to use
This study attempts to identify the predictors of e-book reader diffusion with regard to consumer awareness, interest, and intention to use. Specifically, it assesses the relative influence of demographics, media usage/ownership, and personal traits/perception variables in the technology-adoption process. A national consumer survey conducted in South Korea, a leading country in the proliferation of e-book use, found that e-book reader awareness, …

Business News Web Sites Differ from Newspapers in Business Content
The growth of competition in broadcast television, in weekly magazines and, most recently, on the Internet inevitably has impacted newspaper circulation. Changing lifestyles with greater emphases on recreation and other outdoor activities also apparently have caused the decline of newspaper circulations.1 In addition, the difficult readability of newspapers may be another reason for continuously dropping circulations.Journalism scholars have atte…
