What is the first Korean literature?
From the beginning of modern Korea’s opening in the late 19th century, newspaper publishing had a nationalistic and reformist flavor, but faced efforts at political control or outright censorship throughout most of the 20th century. Syngman Rhee’s military government outlawed leftist newspapers and closed moderate papers, while Park Chung-hee used a variety of means to keep the press in line, including licensing, the Press Ethics Commission Law and, after 1972, emergency decrees.
After the end of the Cold War, political liberalization and the emergence of a new generation of journalists led to a marked loosening of press restraints. Journalists began to write about previously taboo subjects, such as political-military relations and factions within the military, as well as reporting on the activities of dissident groups. Many of Seoul’s major dailies organized trade unions and pushed for greater editorial independence.
In addition to the main newspaper Chosun Ilbo, the group publishes a number of other titles: Yonggang Ilbo, Digital Chosun, Edu-Chosun, and Kaebyok. The company also owns a television channel, KBS World 24, which broadcasts domestic and foreign content to viewers abroad.
