This study conducted a comparative analysis of the news broadcasts of NHK and KBS, the public broadcasters representing Japan and South Korea, respectively. By examining the themes and formats of the news covered by both broadcasters, the study explores the differences between Japanese and Korean public broadcasting and identifies the characteristics and direction of news reporting in both countries. In particular, the study compares the content, reporting methods, and attitudes of both countries, focusing on political news. In South Korea, social and political news make up a very large proportion of the coverage, indicating that South Korean broadcasts attract viewers' attention through the emphasis on social issues. While Japan tends to delve deeply into a smaller number of topics, South Korea tends to convey a variety of issues through brief news items. Japan prioritizes the coverage of social issues and international news, whereas South Korea tends to prioritize political news. This can be attributed to the influence of South Korea's political interests on society and the high level of political engagement among its citizens. In political news, South Korea tends to use negative and provocative language in news titles or citations, emphasizing a critical and negative context regarding political situations and issues, and highlighting conflicts and divisions between the ruling and opposition parties. In contrast, Japan tends to use words that emphasize cooperative and achievable positive changes, showing restraint in emotional expression and striving to maintain neutrality. Japan also continuously reports on interviews with the Prime Minister, aiming to objectively convey government policies and official positions.
