This study is a study on the requirements, resources, and role of policy broker in the policy process.
Particular attention was paid to two requirements of legitimacy (official authority, political support) and
professionalism (information and expertise, skilled leadership) as the requirements of policy broker. This
study analyzed the process of transforming the actor conflicts surrounding the media rep legislative process
into a cooperative relationship by being mediated by a strong influential policy broker. Policy brokers can
mediate opinions among participating actors and play a role in coordinating conflicting interests. In the
mediarep policy process, the policy brokers were unable to resolve conflicts due to lack of legitimacy and
expertise in the first phase (legislative grace period) and the second phase (legislative loophole). However,
the legitimacy of the six subcommittees of the National Assembly (the legislative period) and the expertise
of the Korea Communications Commission were able to succeed in policy-making by acting as a successful
policy brokers through complementary activities.
