About Chosun Ilbo
Chosun Ilbo is owned by the Chosun Media Group and is a family-owned newspaper, controlled by the Bang family. Bang Sang-Hoon serves as chairman, and Bang Juno as president. It is one of South Korea's three dominant conservative newspapers, often referred to as 'Chojoongdong'.
Media Bias/Fact Check rates Chosun Ilbo as Right-Center Biased, noting a strong right-biased nationalist conservative editorial perspective and a tendency to favor conservative causes and the opposition party in its reporting. The outlet is rated 'Mixed' for factual reporting due to poor sourcing, lack of transparency, and a failed fact check. Historically, Chosun Ilbo has faced accusations of pro-Japanese and pro-military dictatorship stances. It has also been criticized for dubious and politically motivated reporting on North Korea, including a false report of an execution, and for inventing expert quotes in articles. The newspaper's conservative bias extends to domestic issues, where it often criticizes progressive governance and aligns with conservative interests.
