Abstract
This study analyzed the news media coverage of QRcodes in Korea over a 16-year period (2008 to 2023). A total of 13,335 articles were extracted from the Korea Press Foundation’s BigKinds. A quantitative and content analysis was conducted on the news frames. The results indicated that the quantity of news coverage has increased. The greatest quantity of news coverage was observed in 2020, and the most frequently discussed topic in the news was ‘IT_Science’. The results of the keyword analysis indicated that the primary words were ‘QRcode’, ‘smartphone’, ‘service’, ‘application’, and ‘payment’. The news media primarily focused on the QRcode’s ability to provide instant access and recognition technology. This study demonstrates that advanced information and communication technologies and the increased prevalence of mobile devices have led to a rise in the utilization of QRcodes. Furthermore, QRcodes have become a significant information media in contemporary society.
