Election broadcast review panel formation may unlock normalising broadcast media committees
With the June 3 local elections approaching, South Korea is under pressure to quickly form the Election Broadcasting Review Panel. The panel must be set up by the Broadcast Media and Communications Review Committee, which cannot operate normally because National Assembly-appointed members have not been named. The Broadcast Media and Communications Commission is also short of its legal quorum. Some see the Assembly handling appointments to both bodies as a package.
