Korea: the real land of participatory journalism

I'm happy to see more and more articles - this week in Newsweek - on OhmyNews, the Korean online participatory newspaper. Three weeks ago, his CEO, Oh Yeon-Ho was our guest during the 11th World Editors Forum in Istanbul and he made a very strong speech about his vision of journalism. These days, the site is very interesting because of the reactions of Korean people about the threats against one Korean citizen in Iraq. I like too this sentence from Dr Oh: "Technology itself cannot change society.  Korean citizens were ready to participate.  Only prepared people, who can use the merits of technology, can make a difference."
