Media and Democratic Transition in South Korea
Since South Korea achieved partial democracy in 1987, the country has moved away from authoritarian political control. However, after two decades of democratic transition, South Korea still does not have a strong liberal, individualist culture – something that has brought about a wide range of scholarly discussion on the nature of democracy practised in this dynamic country. While the political changes in South Korea have received rigorous attent…
From 'Revolutionary Changes' to 'Things as Usual: The Political Role of Online Media in South Korea
This article examines the political role of online media in the process of democratisation in South Korea. It argues that online media in Korea emerged when the institutionalisation of the political parties was weak, and when the mainstream media were polarised, losing the trust of the general public. These two factors allowed new forces in civil society to emerge as influential mediators in political communication and mobilisation. The political…
Restructuring the Satellite Television Industry in Japan
This article reviews recent developments in the restructuring of the satellite television industry in Japan, focusing on the degree to which new entrants and existing players have participated in its infrastructure. It shows that the Japanese government's position toward satellite television has changed from “protecting and promoting NHK's interests” as noted in the case of Broadcasting Satellite analog service to “balancing the development of al…
The Context of the Regulation of Television Broadcasting in East Asia
Based on a comparison of the contexts in which the regulatory structure of television broadcasting has been shaped and developed in Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea, this article explains the way in which each state, implicitly or explicitly, justifies the shape and development of its regulation of television broadcasting. It argues that despite the different perceptions and principles of television broadcasting held by each of the three countrie…
The Role of the State in the Regulation of Television Broadcasting in South Korea
Television broadcasting in South Korea is experiencing a major change in its regulatory structure under the new government led by Kim Dae-Jung, who won the 1997 election as an opposition candidate for the first time in Korean history. Based on the review of the regulatory history of television broadcasting and its recent development in South Korea, this paper provides an overall background which explains the way in which the state has shaped and …
Structural and Cultural Aspects of the Regulation of Television Broadcasting in East Asia: A Comparative Study
Based on the comparison of the degree of constraints upon television broadcasters in Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea, this article argues that the relationship between the state and television broadcasters in the three countries studied has been maintained not in an open, but in an enforced or limited fashion. This is because the relationship has been bound mainly by legal constraints (Hong Kong) or indirectly enforced or limited by moral and st…
