This study started with the awareness of the problem of government influence on the press in democracies in the 21st century. In other words, to ensure that the press can freely and faithfully fulfil its role as a ‘watchdog’ for power as originally sought by the 21st-century democracies, it is necessary to face up to how and in what way the governments have exerted their influence on the press.
Accordingly, the study aimed to identify what and how governments in the 21st-century democracies exerted on the press, how the media environment responded to it, and what perceptions journalists have of their government’s influence. To this end, as objects of the study, the researcher took two countries of the East and the West, South Korea and Germany, that are externally recognized as countries with freedom of the press due to their fairly developed democratic systems and that have different forms of government. Also, as a qualitative research method, case study and in-depth interviews were carried out sequentially.
