Asia: Editors from Japan, China and South Korea meet, seek collaboration
Posted by Sarah Schewe on July 21, 2008 at 10:10 AM
In an event appropriately titled the 1st Japan-China-South Korea Editors' Seminar, 41 senior editors and journalists from Japan, China and South Korea, met in Seoul for the first of such a gathering.
The event provided a forum for discussions on the Internet, the role of the media, and coverage of key issues, including free trade. The meetings theme was, "Developing New Collaborative Relations in Pursuit Of Deeper Mutual Understanding Among Media Circles."
Jin Dong-guang, chief of Korean-language broadcasting at state-owned China Radio International (CRI), noted that due to growing competition with U.S. and European media, it was crucial for the three countries to strengthen their cooperation. "Specifically," reported Pressnet, "Jin called for a system to share information among media in the three countries and to promote joint projects in newsgathering and content production, as well as in other fields."
The new forum is to be held every two years, with the next meeting set for Tokyo in 2010.
