[Korea.net News, Nation, June 19 2007] Communication expert urges Korean media to catch up with the times

Both the Korean government and the people can win through President Roh Moo-hyun's decision to update the existing, authoritarian press room system into a new democratic one, the former president of the International Foreign Correspondents Club said.

In the column "Roh's policy pushes media into the present" published by Korea's vernacular Joongang Daily on Monday (June 18), Michael Breen said President Roh Moo-hyun's decision to change the government's press briefing system is "a historic move that gives an opportunity to the media to be more professional."
