Kore Yarımadasında Propaganda Savaşları: İki Kore Arasında Radyo Yayınları

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, öncelikli olarak Kuzey ve Güney Kore arasındaki propaganda faaliyetleri ancak bunun yanı sıra Rusya, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri ve Çin gibi bölgede hâkimiyet kurmaya çalışan süper güçlerin propaganda yayınları incelenmiştir. Uzak Asya’daki propaganda faaliyetleri, uçaklardan atılan afişler, radyo, televizyon ve diğer tüm kitle iletişim araçları vasıtasıyla yapılmış olup makalede belli bir oranda açıklanmış, ancak konu açısından önem arz etmesi bakımından radyo yayınları ana kitle iletişim aracı olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmada literatür tarama yönteminin yanı sıra, tarihsel betimleyici bir model kullanılmıştır. Bunun sebebi radyonun Kore Savaşı’yla beraber bir propaganda aracı olarak kullanılması ve Koreliler haricinde yarımadada söz sahibi olmak isteyen Japonya’da dâhil diğer ülkelerce de önem atfedilmesidir. Radyo, Kuzey ve Güney Kore tarafından kendi sistem ve ideolojilerini korumak ve sonrasında da yaymak amacıyla günümüzde bile kullanılan bir kitle iletişim aracıdır.
