Kim Jong-cheol, chairman of the Korea Broadcasting Media and Communications Commission, says he will lead a major transformation of the media ecosystem as a “guardian of the Constitution” and a builder of a fair media order. In a New Year address, he sets out three key policy pillars: establishing systems to prevent the spread of false and manipulated information and tackling illegal spam; promoting industrial innovation through balanced regulation and support; and strengthening public sovereignty in media, including legal reforms for public broadcasters and expanded dispute mediation.
