'저는 그들의 땅을 지키기 위하여 싸웠던 인디안들의 이야기를 기억합니다. 백인들이 그들의 신성한 숲에 도로를 만들기 위하여 나무들을 잘랐습니다. 매일밤 인디안들이 나가서 백인들이 만든 그 길을 해체하면 그 다음 날 백인들이 와서 도로를 다시 짓곤 했습니다. 한동안 그 것이 반복되었습니다. 그러던 어느날, 숲에서 가장 큰 나무가 백인들이 일할 동안 그들 머리 위로 떨어져 말과 마차들을 파괴하고 그들 중 몇몇을 죽였습니다. 그러자 백인들은 떠났고 결코 다시 오지 않았습니다….' (브루스 개그논)

Protesting pro-government media monopoly
Posted on : Jan.19,2011 13:40 KST

Representatives from more than 200 civic and social organizations hold a news conference to protest the Korea Communications Commission’s (KCC) decision that give the three major pro-administration newspapers, Chosun Ilbo, JoongAng Ilbo and Dong-A Ilbo, ChoJoongDong, and leading business newspaper Maeil Economic Daily, the rights to operate comprehensive programming cable channels at the Franciscan Education Center on Tuesday.

They said in a statement that the KCC has made efforts to give an array of additional favors to ensure the ChoJoongDong broadcasters’ survival, including allocation of single-digit channel numbers, so-called golden channels, and approval of advertisements for hospitals and special medicine. They demanded the KCC’s withdrawal of its decision on comprehensive programming cable channels, saying, “We will call for a National Assembly investigation and hearings on the biased, unfair and preferential selection of new broadcasters.”
