가짜뉴스에 대한 미디어 자율규제의 동향과 개선에 관한 연구

Abstract In Korea, various measures and bills have been proposed to prevent fake news (false manipulation information), but legislation(amendment) has not been made as concerns including infringement of freedom of expression have been raised. Nevertheless, personal and social damage caused in the process of producing and spreading false manipulated information is increasing rapidly, and it is obvious that the harm caused by false manipulated information will become more serious with technological development if false manipulated information is not controlled in a timely manner. Considering that consensus on the necessity and importance of regulating false manipulated information is also formed throughout society, it seems difficult to delay any longer in preparing a legal system to prevent false manipulated information. However, it would be desirable to improve the system to prevent the distribution of false manipulated information in a way that minimizes the possibility of law enforcement agencies or information and communication service providers infringing on freedom of expression by controlling the flow of information distributed on the Internet while reducing the burden on information and communication service providers who must prove false manipulated information. This study seeks to find a methodology to improve the current limitations of Korea's media self-regulation, the role of media, the role of regulatory agencies to manage and supervise them, and the necessity of fake news (false manipulation information). In the reality of Korea, which adopts self-regulation, the system that each platform must have to prevent the spread of problems and the institutional arrangements to prevent recurrence are also important. If there is a lack of responsible action due to the prevention of false information and the articleization of fake news, the reliability required by the media company will deteriorate, so the direction of preparation and response should also be examined. The Internet and social network services (SNS) play a role in distributing various information. Accordingly, information based on facts and information made up of lies appears and spreads in various ways. Fake news has caused a lot of controversy as it has occurred in the past, not in the modern era. This study aims to examine the factors of the spread of fake news due to the development of media the direction to prevent it, and the trend analysis of media self-regulation and countermeasures to prevent fake news false manipulation information). Therefore this study first analyzes the theoretical background and regulatory system of fake news. Second the study concludes by diagnosing the current contents through self-regulatory case analysis of domestic fake news-related platforms and presenting legal and institutional methodologies to improve them.
