MEDIA LANDSCAPE IN SOUTH KOREA

These include Chosun Ilbo, the oldest and highest-circulation broadsheet; JoongAng Ilbo, known for its English-language edition; and Dong-A Ilbo, founded in 1920. Counterbalancing them are centre-left publications like Hankyoreh, established in 1988 by dissident journalists, and Kyunghyang Shinmun. Maeil Business Newspaper leads the financial sector as the top economic daily. Alongside the dominant Seoul-based national press, dedicated English-language papers serve expatriates, while regional dailies cover provincial hubs like Busan.
