자료요약
지역언론학은 다른 분과에 비해 미디어 이외의 나머지 사회를 짙은 어둠 속에 놔둬선 안 될 필요가 훨씬 더 큼에도 불구하고 많은 연구들이 한국사회의 구조적 맥락과 유리된 채 지역 미디어에만 집중하는 경향이 있다. 지역언론 연구가 미디어를 넘어서 전반적인 지역 커뮤니케이션 현상을 다루면 연구 주제가 풍요로워지는 건 물론이고 미디어만으론 규명하거나 해결할 수 없는 문제들에 대한 심층 분석도 가능해진다. 그럼에도 왜 우리는 미디어에만 집착해야 하는가? 이런 문제의식에서 출발한 본 연구는 지역언론은 물론 지역언론학도 경로의존의 덫에 갇혀 있음을 밝히면서 ‘지방소멸’을 부추기는 3대 ‘구성의 오류’에 대한 관심을 환기시키고 지역언론학이 이에 적극 대응할 것을 제안한다. 중앙 접근성 위주의 정치, ‘개천에서 용 나는 모델’ 위주의 교육, 탈(脫)지역공동체적 소비 등 세 가지 관행은 지역의 이익과 개인이나 가족으로서의 지역민의 이익이 충돌하는 ‘구성의 오류’를 유발함으로써 지방소멸을 부추기고 있다. 본 연구는 지역언론은 이런 딜레마 상황에 대한 문제 제기를 하고 있지 않거나 ‘구성의 오류’에 일조하는 역할을 하고 있다고 지적하면서 지역언론학이 ‘미디어 연구’에서 ‘커뮤니케이션 연구’로 전환해야 할 필요성을 역설한다.
A lot of studies tend to focus on only local media separately from structural context of Korean society although local media study is much more necessary not to leave the society other than media in the darkness compared to other disciplines. If local media research deals with overall local communication phenomena beyond media, it will not only enrich the research topics but also be possible to deeply analyze the issues that can not be identified or solved by media research alone. Nonetheless, why should we stick to the media alone? This study, which started from this awareness of a problem, reveals that not only the local media but also the local media research are trapped in the path dependency, calls attention to the three major ‘fallacy of composition’ that accelerate ‘the death of regional cities,’ and suggests that local media research actively respond to them. Three practices, such as local politics for access to center, education based on the model of fulfilling ’rags-to-riches’, and consumption transcending the local community interests, stimulate the death of regional cities by generating ’fallacy of composition’, a condition of conflict between the interests of local community as a whole and the interests of local people as individuals or families. This study points out that local media do not raise questions about this dilemma, or contribute to ‘fallacy of composition’ and emphasizes that the local media research needs to shift from ‘media research’ to ‘communication research.’
