Following the period of 1945 to 1948 that saw a burgeoning of newspapers and periodicals of every description, almost all subsequent South Korean governments have attempted to control the media. Syngman Rhee continued his military government’s Ordinance Number Eighty-Eight, which outlawed leftist papers, and Park Chung-hee closed moderate newspapers on numerous occasions. In addition, he used the Basic Press Law of 1980 and emergency decrees to punish critical journalists. URL : https://www.ardentnews.co.kr
In 1988, new independent dailies and weekly and monthly magazines appeared that bypassed the higher profits of general circulation publications to provide careful analyses of political, economic, and national security issues to specialized audiences. The Christian Broadcasting System radio network also began broadcasting news again in 1987.
The head of the U.N. atomic agency has toured Japan’s tsunami-wrecked Fukushima nuclear plant and endorsed Tokyo’s plans to release treated radioactive wastewater into the ocean, saying that it meets international standards and will have minimal impact on health and the environment. But in Seoul, China’s ambassador is raising concerns that the move could spark an arms race in the region. The Korean government summoned him to explain his comments. In other international news, a top North Korean official vows to build up the country’s nuclear capabilities, despite signals earlier in his reign that he would support denuclearization.
