South Korea

PMA is excited to announce that the Korean Broadcasting System (KBS) is the latest public media organisation to join our global association.  

Reforms to strengthen the independence of South Korea’s public media are taking place against a backdrop of recent media freedom concerns.

South Korea’s largest and most trusted public broadcaster used technological innovation to push its election coverage to new heights.

The Korean Broadcasting System’s (KBS) emergency content has played a crucial role during the pandemic, as have other public media worldwide.

The licence fee has remained a popular funding model for PSM. But it's under threat, and broadcasters are searching for an alternative.

While the South Korean government has quashed its plans to introduce a ‘fake news’ law, Greece is looking to impose such regulations.

The Public Media Alliance welcomes decision to back down on a proposed bill that could have significant repercussions for press freedom in South Korea.

The final vote on a proposed bill that many fear could undermine press freedom in South Korea has been postponed yet again.

South Korea may soon join the growing ranks of countries whose governments are introducing so-called “fake news” laws.

Contrasting proposals made for the licence fees of two of the largest public broadcasters in the Asia-Pacific.
