朝鮮末期輿論報紙之考察

An investigation of public opinion newspapers in the late Joseon Dynasty

朝鮮末期進入開化時期，報紙對於國家的救亡圖存，百姓的民智啟蒙扮演關鍵的腳色。本文考察朝鮮末期民間報紙的發展沿革，從一八八〇年代初的萌芽期，一八九〇年代中葉的黃金期，到一九一〇年後期的嚴峻期。其中《獨立新聞》、《皇城新聞》、《帝國新聞》、《大韓每日申報》為當時影響力較大的四大報。比較四大報性格會有殊性與共性。殊性為各報側重點與筆鋒不同，而共性為：四大報主筆參加政治團體共謀國家改革，參加教育團體共謀教育救國，以及多為開化儒者共倡民族精神。朝鮮末期是民間辦報、民間團體的活絡年代，齊心養成民族實力，以利恢復國權。

In the late Joseon Dynasty, when Joseon entered a period of enlightenment, newspapers played a key role in saving the country and enlightening the people's wisdom. This article examines the development of private newspapers in the late Joseon Dynasty, from the budding period in the early 1880s, to the golden period in the mid-1890s, to the severe period in the late 1910s. Among them, The Independent, Hwangseon Newspaper, Empire Newspaper, and The Korean Daily News were the four most influential newspapers at that time. Comparing the characters of the four major reports, there will be differences and commonalities. The difference is that the emphasis and writing style of each newspaper are different, but the common features are: the main writers of the four major newspapers participated in political groups to conspire for national reform, participated in educational groups to conspire to educate and save the country, and most of them were enlightened Confucians to promote the national spirit. The last years of the Joseon Dynasty were an era of active private newspapers and non-governmental organizations, working together to develop national strength in order to restore national power.
