The managing and chief news editors of newspapers, broadcasters and news agencies in an emergency meeting at the Korea Press Center in Seoul on Thursday morning adopted a resolution urging the government to scrap draconian new press control. “We refuse to accept the government's anti-press measures and will defend the people's right to know by resisting government oppression whatever the difficulties and sacrifices,” they said.
