About Dong-A Ilbo
Dong-A Ilbo is a private, family-owned newspaper and the parent company of Dong-a Media Group (DAMG), which includes 11 affiliates such as Sports Dong-a, Dong-a Science, and the broadcasting company Channel A. The second son of Dong-A Ilbo's chairman is married to a daughter of the former Samsung chairman, leading to perceptions of Samsung's influence.
Dong-A Ilbo is a major South Korean daily newspaper, founded in 1920, with a historical role in supporting Korean independence. It is widely regarded as a conservative or right-wing publication, often grouped with other conservative dailies like Chosun Ilbo and JoongAng Ilbo. A notable controversy in the 1970s, known as the 'blank advertisement incident,' involved the paper, under government pressure, firing journalists critical of the Park Chung-hee administration, leading to a shift towards a more pro-government stance. South Korea's media environment is vibrant but polarized, with concerns raised by Reporters Without Borders and Freedom House regarding defamation laws, government influence, and conglomerate influence.
