방송 저널리즘의 UGC 이용에 관한 연구: 방글라데시의 사례를 중심으로

Abstract

Digital convergence put a huge challenges for broadcast media in terms of integrating user generated content (UGC). Keeping this in mind, objective of the study is to explore the factors that affecting UGC’s integration in Broadcast channel from developing countries’ perspective. We explored how and why UGC are appearing in Bangladeshi Television news. In-depth interview was used and news editorial level staffs were selected from leading Bangladeshi television channels. Findings suggest that, state interventions in crisis events and lack of experiences to handle crisis reporting played a crucial role to incorporate UGC in television news bulletins. One of the significant findings is that, mere traditional guidelines and work policy of the media houses will not be enough to handle user generated content as well as citizen’s participation in news media. Thus, we recommend to formulate a comprehensive user generated content integration policy in the context of Bangladesh.
