Abstract
From April 1st to April 6th, public broadcasting systems including MBC, KBS, and TBS continued to cover the news in the frame of ‘collusion between prosecution and media'. I analyzed the news frame in 4 research questions (RQ). RQ 1. Was the news frame accurate? RQ 2. Was the news frame balanced? RQ 3. Was the news frame impartial? RQ 4. “Who benefits (cui bono) from the news frame? As a result of the analysis, the news frame of ‘collusion between prosecution and media' in public broadcasting systems' wasn't ‘accurate', ‘balanced', and ‘impartial'. The news frame was for the benefit of the ruling powers. Even in the Moon Jae-in government Launched after the 2016 Candlelight Revolution, the pro-government reporting behavior of public broadcasting systems has not changed.
