Abstract
ABSTRACT The #MeToo movement has become a global issue. In both the U.S. and South Korea, scandals involving celebrities and politicians have stimulated the movement even further. Our study aimed to investigate how conservative and liberal media report on the #MeToo movement differently in both countries. After conducting a content analysis of 516 articles in four newspapers in the U.S. and five newspapers in South Korea, we find that liberal media report on the issue more often, while conservative media use sensationalism in their #MeToo articles more often. Limitations include generalizability issues as we only looked at newspapers and only four different cases.
