The introduction of <The Okcheon Shinmun>

<The Okcheon Shinmun> was founded in 1989 as a local corporation in which the county residents are the direct owners of the company. <The Okcheon Shinmun>is published weekly at Okcheon-gun, Chungcheonbuk-do, Korea.

<The Okcheon Shinmun> was the first Korean newspaper to be organized such that one party cannot own more than a certain share of stakes in the company. As a result, has been evaluated as the best model in maintaining the independence and autonomy of news reporting, for the twenty-one years since its foundation.

The local public ownership of <The Okcheon Shinmun> is often contrasted with the case of larger and more widely circulated Newspapers, which are owned by large companies or particular individuals, and have raised social problems. Moreover, it is appraised as a model of alternative mass media in Korean society.

At present, ten directors who are working in the local area as a president of labor union, a lawyer, a small business owner, and individuals are responsible for company management. In addition, there are five journalists, two editors and one editor-in-chief. The editor-in-chief is elected by journalists every two year, by secret ballot.

<The Okcheon Shinmun> has reported a wide range of news from news of local people¡¯s daily life to news of criticizing and monitoring the administration of local government. Moreover, in order to provide the future prospects to the local community, examples from foreign countries are reported every year.

Every year, <The Okcheon Shinmun> has been selected as an outstanding local newspaper, and has received funding from the Korean government for reporting and management, since the Local Newspaper Support Act was enacted in 2005.
