Yanbian Daily, the Party newspaper of Yanbian Korean Autonomous Prefecture, plays an active role in the development of Korean region. But the study of Yanbian Daily was relatively weak. In particular, since the beginning of the new century, Yanbian Daily faces many new problems that must be resolved.The prelude of my thesis introduces the current researches on Yanbian Daily, and then summarizes the history of Yanbian Daily before the outset of the reform and opening to the outside. The focus of this paper is the history since then. Firstly, it analyses the reporting characteristics of the newspaper by applying the Marxist theory of journalism. Secondly, the layout of news pages of Yanbian Daily is analysised. I collected samples of altogether 93 newspapers issued in January 1985, January 1995 and January 2005. The analysis shows that after the outset of reform and opening to the outside, Yanbian Daily pages have changed. Finally it refers to the problems and proposes solutions to the problems. It pays attention to the actual analysis, and strives to integrate theory with practice. I hope that the papers can contribute to a better Yanbian Daily. |
