Abstract

Applying the communication mediation model and the communication infrastructure theory in the Korean news media environment, the current study investigates the potential of news portals as a gateway to civic engagement through online discussion. Specifically, this study distinguishes the active use of news portals for information about community issues and public affairs (e.g. commenting, passing along and searching for information) from the passive use of news portals (i.e. simple reception of information). An analysis of a national survey of 1294 Korean adults shows that active, not passive, use of news portals positively predicts online community discussion to subsequently increase cognitive, psychological, and behavioral dimensions of civic engagement: neighborhood belonging, collective efficacy, and civic participation. Importantly, active portal use's indirect positive relationship with civic engagement through online community discussion is stronger among people with higher news portal credibility. Implications are further discussed in the context of Korean news portals.

新闻门户网站是公民参与的门户:以韩国为例
运用韩国新闻媒体环境中的传播中介模型和传播基础设施理论,本研究调查了新闻门户作为通过在线讨论进行公民参与的门户的潜力。具体来说,本研究区分了新闻门户网站对社区问题和公共事务信息的主动使用(如评论、传递和搜索信息)和新闻门户网站的被动使用(即简单接受信息)。一项对1294名韩国成年人进行的全国性调查分析显示,主动而非被动地使用新闻门户网站积极地预测在线社区讨论,从而提高公民参与的认知、心理和行为维度:社区归属感、集体效能和公民参与。重要的是,活跃的门户网站使用与通过在线社区讨论的公民参与之间的间接积极关系,在新闻门户网站可信度较高的人群中更为强烈。在韩国新闻门户网站的背景下进一步讨论其影响。
