- Abstract
- This study identifies the attitudes of three types of newspaper journalists towards robot journalism by employing Q-methodology. The samples analyzed in this study are 47 journalists from 17 South Korean newspapers. The first type believes that journalism is beyond robots' capabilities, a position terms "journalism's elitism." The second type demonstrates the "Frankenstein complex," meaning greater concern about the introduction of robots based on dismal scenarios. The last type has a relatively rosy view, which focuses on a positive blueprint despite recognition of some threats.
