AsiaMedia :: KOREA: "Agency rips out temporary working space of journalists

A government agency ripped out a temporary working space set up by journalists in the Foreign Ministry complex over the weekend, deepening tension between the media and the government over the controversial press 'reform' measure. The Government Information Agency dismantled the small working space in the lobby of the ministry building in Seoul late Friday night, effectively trying to compel reporters to move into the new briefing room that was built to consolidate 16 preexisting press rooms downstairs."
