This study aims to examine the attitude of media on reporting issues related to integrated resort, and analyze how much the media’s reporting attitude reflects the interest of the relevant industry and local governments and what its social implications are. To this end, this study selected as its study objects the articles on integrated resort reported in Chosunilbo, Hankyoreh, and Hankookilbo for about 4 years and 3 months, from April 26, 2012 to July 31, 2016. The result of the analysis showed that Chosunilbo was showing a supportive position by offering estimation and analysis of the economic performance of integrated resort.
