By those findings, it can be concludes that The New York Times is deeper in elaborating the emotional condition of the Korean people after the disaster rather than
The Korea Herald .
4. The irregularities on the operator of the ferry which is related to the disaster
In the aspect of arrangements of subtopic, The Korea Herald more concerns about the opinions about the resignation of the Prime Minister while The New York
Times does not mention about it. Then, The Korea Herald adds the description about
the ferry sinking while The New York Times adds more about the recent report of the death toll and rescue struggle and the grief of the nation due to the disaster.
The Korea Herald employs the lexical items of „rampant „corruption and
malpr actices‟‟, „rooted out‟, „revealed‟, „various irregularities‟ while The New York
Times employs the lexical items of „criminal charges‟ and „accidental homicides‟. By
those lexical items, The Korea Herald tends to elaborate the subtopic of the irregularities which is related to the disaster based on the comments of the prime
minister while The New York Times focuses to elaborate this topic only on the irregularities.
So, it can be concluded that The Korea Herald is more focus on the Prime Minister‟s comment about the irregularities related to the disaster, while The New
York Times focuses on the irregularities on the operator of the ship which cause high
death toll
