Digital Chosunilbo (English Edition) : Daily News in English About Korea: "A Private Vendetta Against the Press

A Cabinet meeting chaired by President Roh Moo-hyun on Tuesday decided to merge 37 press rooms in government agencies into a handful of briefing rooms at the government complexes in central Seoul, Gwacheon and Daejeon. As a result, up to 16 agencies will use one of the press rooms to brief reporters on government policy. The government will start constructing the new briefing rooms at the end of June and have them operating in August. The government said it will come up with strong measures to keep reporters from entering the government offices."
