Media Of South Korea
The South Korean media consist of several different types of public communication of news: television, radio, cinema, newspapers, magazines, and Internet-based Web sites.
Modern Korean journalism began after the opening of Korea in late 19th century. The Korean press had a strong reformist and nationalistic flavour from the beginning, but faced efforts at political control or outright censorship during most of the 20th century.
Today in South Korea, many journalists have established a tradition of remaining independent. They are often critical of the government, protesting any attempts at press censorship.
