Freedom Of The Press In South Korea
South Korea is considered to have freedom of the press, but it is subject to several pressures. It has improved since South Korea transitioned to democracy in the late 20th century, but declined slightly in the 2010s. Freedom House ''Freedom of the Press'' has classified South Korean press as free from 2002 to 2010, and as partly free since 2011. In the Index of Reporters Without Borders, the government of President Park Geun-hye fell to 70th in 2016, but it rose 20 places in the government of Moon Jae-in. For this reason, Freedom House published the Freedom of the Press Index in Korea for the first time among Asian countries. History The Western concept of freedom of the press was introduced to Korea following World War II by the United States Army Military Government in Korea, though some communist press outlets were censored. The Syngman Rhee administration that followed afforded considerable press freedom, but this was limited in its later tenure by the National Security Act. ...

Censorship In South Korea
Censorship in South Korea is implemented by various laws that were included in the constitution as well as acts passed by the National Assembly over the decades since 1948. These include the National Security Act, whereby the government may limit the expression of ideas that it perceives "praise or incite the activities of anti-state individuals or groups". Censorship was particularly severe during the country's authoritarian era, with freedom of expression being non-existent, which lasted from 1948 to 1993. However, ever since the inauguration of president Lee Myung-bak in 2008, South Korea has experienced a noticeable decline in freedom of expression for both journalists and the general public. South Korea's status beginning in the 2011 Freedom of the Press report from Freedom House has declined from "Free" to "Partly Free", a status that has continued to the present, reflecting an increase in official censorship and government attempts to influence news and information content. ...
