확진보다 무서운 낙인? 유행시기별 코로나19 보도 헤드라인에 나타난 낙인 양상 분석

초록

According to the Korean Social trends(2020), it was seen that majority of people feared the stigma of getting infected with COVID-19 more than the fear of being infected. This study analyzes the headlines of news reports of major daily newspapers during the first year of outbreak. Results showed that 66.5% of the healines analyzed in this study used expressions associated with stigma, and this pattern appeared around 60% through the entire epidemic period. Most frequently used stigma factors were Peril(53.6%), Labeling(28.9%), Responsibility(16.2%), and Mark(1.3%). In particular, the patterns of stigmatization related to COVID-19 were concentrated on specific groups(e.g., Shincheonji, Itaewon, churches) without considering the contexts such as changes in the overall quarantine policy and government’s messages. Practical and policy implications are discussed.
