Distinguished journalists!
Jung Kyu SungPresidentJournalists Association of Korea
Fellow journalists, welcome to Korea. It’s a pleasure to meet you.
I am Jung Kyu Sung, the president of the Journalists Association of Korea.
Established on 17 August, 1964 and celebrating its 55th anniversary this year, the Journalists Association of Korea is the nation’s
biggest association of journalists that has more than 10,000 journalists from 187 media companies as members.
First organized in 2013 by the Journalists Association of Korea with the aim of promoting world peace and contributing to the advancement of media, the World Journalists Conference is held for the seventh time this year.
For the last seven years, the Conference has proudly grown into one of the biggest events joined by journalists around the world where journalists get together in the world’s only remaining divided land of Korea to witness the realities of division and to experience the importance peace.
Moreover, we all share one thing in common despite our differences in gender, race and faith. That is the fact that we are journalists devoted to reporting the truth with a cold head and a passionate heart and committed to freedom and peace.
The 2019 World Journalists Conference held with the theme “Role of Journalists in Ensuring Peace on the Korean Peninsula” is also joined by more than seventy journalists from fifty nations in Korea’s capital of Seoul which bears witness to history and that at the Korea Press Center, a symbol of the nation’s journalism. I hope the event is a meaningful and helpful to all the participants who have joined us despite their busy schedule.
Considering that this year’s Conference is held in the aftermath of the US-DPRK Summit in February which ended without the two leaders signing a joint statement, I look forward to all of you sharing your thoughts and ideas on improving inter-Korean relations and furthermore on achieving world peace.
Especially this year, we hope that participants can give more opinions and advice to the Conference on the road to the future of the Korean peninsula and world peace.
I also hope you can experience Korean traditional culture and witness the nation’s changes during your visits to the nation’s centers of administration, culture and economy including Gyeonggi, Sejong, Jeonbuk, Gwangju, Daejeon and Incheon as well as Seoul. And when you return to your country, please share the Korea that you have witnessed.
I hope you enjoy the programs we have prepared.
Thank you.
06 World Journalists Conference 2019
Introduction of Journalists Association of Korea
Established on August 17, 1964 based on the consensus of Korean journalists, the Journalists Association of Korea celebrates its 55th anniversary this year.The association has advocated five principles which are the democratic development of Korea, the improvement of journalists, the protection of freedom of speech, the promotion of friendship amongst the association’s members, the achievement of peaceful reunification and homogeneity between North and South Korea, and the strengthening of ties with journalists around the world. The five principles serve as the Association’s reason for being and as its ultimate goal.
The Journalists Association of Korea is the nation’s biggest media body, boasting a current membership of over 200 company members and 10,000 individual journalists. The association delivers 50,000 copies of its weekly paper across the nation to present various key issues and viable alternatives.
Also, the Journalists Association of Korea makes efforts to enhance capabilities of journalists by hosting various forums and seminars, and providing reporters with financial support for short- or long-term training programs or studies at domestic graduate schools. We present the annual Korea Journalist Award, which is the most prestigious and long-standing award in Korea's journalism, as well as the Award for Journalist of the Month. These help raise the status of journalism by boosting the morale of journalists and by encouraging the production of high-quality news articles.
Recently, the Journalists Association of Korea has been committed to ousting fake news given its escalation into a global issue and is working to restore the public’s faith in media by collaborating with journalists associations around the world.
At the same time, with a view to bolster the public role of the press, we have steadily engaged in the so-called "talent donation" by sending reporters to elementary, middle and high schools. We also make donation for less fortunate neighbors every year. To give students a chance to deepen their thinking, we host national students essay contest. To boost members' unity and friendship, we hold national reporters soccer competition and reporters climbing contest every year.
Having recognized early on the importance of strengthening the bond with journalists around the world, the Journalists Association of Korea joined the International Federation of Journalists as a full member in 1966. It also interacts regularly with journalists of other nations by exchanging delegates with journalist
A sentence that records history,Images that deliver reality of the scene,Journalists who are passionately seeking the truth as their calling,And always standing behind them, is the Journalists Association of Korea.

associations including the All-China Journalists Association in 1993, the Vietnamese Journalists Association in 1994, the Indonesian Journalists Association in 2013, the Confederation of Mongolian Journalists in 2014 and the Association of European Journalists Bulgaria in 2015. The Journalists Association of Korea is also continuously interacting with the. US Society of Professional Journalists and is planning to communicate with Russian journalists from this year.
Regular exchanges with reporters from these countries are role model cases in people-to-people diplomacy beyond conventional diplomacy and greatly contribute to harmony and improvement in bilateral relations. Looking forward, we hope to expand our network with more journalists from foreign countries.
In addition, JAK successfully hosted the IFJ’s general meeting for the first time in Asia back in 2001, as well as the East Asia Journalist Forum in 2003, the Asia Journalist Forum in 2005, and the IFJ’s special general meeting in 2007. We also held a conference with journalists from Korea, China and Vietnam in 2012. Last year, the Reporters Without Borders (RSF) announced the 2018 World Press Freedom Index in Seoul, Korea.Organized annually by inviting journalists around the world since 2013, the 2019 World Journalists Conference is held for the seventh time this year.
By hosting the World Journalists Conference this year, the Journalists Association of Korea wishes not only to strengthen the solidarity with foreign journalists but also to publicize the Korean people’s strong will to achieve peace on the Korean Peninsula, thereby instilling peace and harmony throughout the global community.
Mr. Jung Kyu-Sung, the 46th president of the Journalists Association of Korea, and the Executive Department are determined to communicate with the public, realize social justice and closely monitor those who have power and authorities with keen eyes. Also, we will demonstrate journalism in which we stand by the less-privileged with warm heart. Also, we will take the lead in the efforts for our members' rights and welfare as well as our people's grand unity.
To this end, we will continue to strengthen ties with international outlets and build reliable friendships in the process. And, we will prepare for what lies ahead with constant reform and innovation.
Thank you.

May 18th National Cemetery
May 18th Democratic Uprising was a nationwide resistance movement against
conspiracy over dominating the governmental power by the military in May
1980. Citizens carried out democratic uprising to resist military regime but,
during the process of repressing the movement, anti-democratic slaughter was
performed and it became one of the representative anti-democratic cases. This
cemetery pays the respects to the souls of Gwangju citizens whose life was
sacrificed and at the center, there is May 18th Democracy Movement Memorial
Monument. The center point of the monument is an ovular shape, symbolizing
“Resurrection of a new life” and the light reflected by the sun’s ray hour by hour
is a seed of hope.
