 조선왈, 국제언론협회가 한국언론개혁을 우려한데요 국민의힘, 노사모에 가보아도 이 기사에 대해 아무 언급이 없네요. 조선이 또 왜곡했을것 같은데 영어가 짧아서리.. 맨아래에 원문 복사해 놓을테니 해석되시는 분 부탁드려요~~~ ------------------------------------------ [국제언론인협회] ‘한국 언론자유 우려’ 보고서 내 (2003.04.18) 국제언론인협회(IPI·International Press Institute)는 최근 한국의 언론자유 상황을 우려하는 내용의 보고서를 17일 국제 인권·표현자유 단체들에 제출했다. IPI는 이날 ‘국제표현자유교류(IFEX·International Freedom of Expression Exchange)’ 산하의 ‘행동경고네트워크(AAN·Action Alert Network)’에 제출한 보고서에서, “한국 정부는 지난 3월 27일 ‘기자실 운영 방안’이라는 새로운 언론정책을 채택했다”면서, “이 방안은 언론자유와 국민의 알 권리를 침해할 것이라는 비난을 일부로부터 받고 있으며, 앞서 3월 14일 이창동 문화관광부 장관이 발표해 논란을 일으킨 방안과 비슷하다”고 지적했다. 캐나다 몬트리올에 본부를 둔 IFEX는 IPI, 국경없는기자회(RSF), 세계신문협회(WAN), 인권감시(HRW) 등 전 세계 57개의 표현자유 및 인권 옹호단체가 1992년 설립한 공동체로, 언론 및 표현자유 침해에 대한 전 세계적 공동 대응을 목표로 하고 있다. IPI는 대한언론인회, 한국신문방송편집인회, 한국기자협회 등 한국의 언론관련 단체들이 발표한 정부의 기자실 운영 방안에 대한 반대 성명을 인용, “이들 언론 단체들은 특히 이창동 장관이 ‘오보와의 전쟁’ 등의 단어를 선택한 데 대해 놀랐다고 말했다”고 전했다. 보고서는 “이 이례적인 전투의 ‘적(敵)’은 바로 노무현(盧武鉉) 대통령 자신이 지목한, 정부의 행동을 왜곡하거나 의도적으로 틀리게 해석하는 매스 미디어”라고 말했다. 보고서는 또한 노 대통령이 정부 대변인들과의 워크숍에서 언론의 힘은 “매우 위험하다”며 언론의 권력구조는 극도로 집중돼 있다고 말했다고 전했다. 보고서는 “정부 공보관들은 (정부에) 피해가 가는 언론보도에 어떻게 대응할 것인지에 대해 토론했으며, (대응 방안 중에는) 명예훼손 소송도 포함돼 있다”고 말했다. IPI는 “불행하게도 (한국의) 언론 상황은 ‘불유쾌한(unpleasant)’ 측면들을 추가로 가지고 있다”면서 KBS사장 임명 논란, 노사모·조아세 등 ‘시민운동으로 가장한 정치운동’ 등을 거론했다. IPI는 “KBS 노조는 대선기간 노 대통령의 언론 보좌관으로 일했던 서동구 사장의 임명이 ‘정치적 중립에 대한 문제’가 있을 것으로 내다보고 반대했다”고 말했다. 노사모·조아세와 관련, IPI는 “노 대통령의 지지자 모임인 노사모는 조아세(조선일보 없는 아름다운 세상)라는 단체와 연계했다”면서 “이 그룹의 선언 중 하나는 ‘여러 일간지를 공격하는 것은 효율적이지 못하므로, 우리는 ‘하나(조선일보)만 죽이기’에 동의한다’”라고 전했다. 이어 보고서는 “이들 단체가 숭배하는 인물(cult figure)인 배우 명계남과 문성근은 지금 ‘국민의 힘’이라는 새로운 인터넷 시민운동을 주도하고 있으며, 이 운동은 ‘순수 회원으로 이뤄진 전사들(warriors)의 단체’라고 스스로 선언했다”고 말했다. 보고서는 국민의 힘·조아세·노사모의 핵심 그룹이 자칭 ‘조폭언론진압단’을 구성, 독립 일간지인 조선·동아·중앙일보를 넘어뜨리려 하고 있다고 말했다. 보고서는 진압단이 이들 신문을 넘어뜨리려는 것이 “표면상으로는 이들(신문들)이 진실을 왜곡하기 때문이라고 말하지만, 진짜 이유는 이들 신문의 영향력이 너무 크고 친(親)정부적 논조가 아니기 때문”이라고 지적했다. 또 조폭언론진압단이 이들 신문과의 인터뷰 거부 운동을 조직하고, 구독 중지운동을 벌이며, 이들 신문에 대한 광고 게재 거부 운동을 주도하고 있다고 덧붙였다. (金成潤기자 gourmet@chosun.com ) ------------------------------------------------------ [IPI 보도자료 원문] (2003.04.18) Press Release Vienna, 17 April 2003 The International Press Institute (IPI), a global network of editors, media executives and leading journalists in 115 nations, has placed a report on recent press freedom developments in South Korea on the Action Alert Network (AAN) of the International Freedom of Expression Exchange (IFEX) Clearing House. IFEX, a community of 57 media organisations and human rights associations from 45 countries, was born in 1992 when many of the world’s leading freedom of expression organizations came together in Montreal, Canada, to discuss how best to further their collective goals. The AAN provides updates on recent developments and allows for a rapid, worldwide and coordinated response to press freedom and freedom of expression violations. Below is the text of the IPI report on South Korea, a country that has been on the IPI Watch List since 6 September 2001. ------- -------- This is a letter of alert to all IFEX organisations regarding the latest press freedom developments in South Korea, which remains on the IPI Watch List: At a meeting of government agency spokesmen held on 27 March 2003, the South Korean government adopted a new press policy, dubbed “How to Operate Press Rooms”. Jo Young-dong of the Korean Information Service (KIS) said that reporters should be banned from visiting the offices of ministries and agencies. “If the reporters need an interview”, he said, “they should make a request to get one through a press officer and then meet with the interview partner at a neutral location”. The plan would scrap the “dedicated reporter system” at government agencies, in which each agency was responsible for assigning reporters of media outlets to work with. Also, it is proposed that the reporters’ room, which the accredited journalists used freely, would be made into a briefing room. These guidelines, which critics say infringe on freedom of the press and the people’s right to know, are similar to the controversial ones disclosed on 14 March by Lee Chang-dong, the Minister of Culture and Tourism, which included: - the closure of the press room in the ministry; - the introduction of weekly briefings for the press; - the restriction of reporters from visiting the ministry’s offices; and - the requirement for the ministry staff to report their contacts with reporters to their supervisors. The Korea Journalists Club demanded an immediate repeal of the oppressive restrictions by the “Participatory Government” (as the Roh government likes to call itself), which infringe on the freedom of press and the right of people to be informed. The Korea News Editors Association said the guidelines were hostile and designed to control the press, and expressed worries that reports will only be available when the minister decides to supply information. The Journalists Association of Korea, which represents journalists working in both TV and print media, stated that requiring staff members of the ministry to report their contacts with reporters in advance could only be interpreted as the government’s intention to only release stories that are favourable to it. Furthermore, it expressed doubts that the media, under the new press guidelines, will be able to properly carry out their inherent role of monitoring and criticizing the government, and it warned that the new guidelines could set an example for all government ministries and agencies. A fear, which quickly became reality. In particular, the media organisations said they were taken aback by the choice of words used by minister Lee Chang-dong in announcing the changes, since he called them part of a “war against erroneous reports”. However, the “enemy” in this unconventional conflict was identified by President Roh Moo-hyun himself: the mass media, which distort or wilfully misinterpret the actions of his administration. Roh’s “declaration of war” was made in a daily newsletter printed by Chong Wa Dae on 14 March. “We will wage a war against misreporting”, the president reportedly said in a Cabinet meeting and decided that Cho Young-dong, Minister of the Government Information Agency, would lead the team charged with stamping out inaccuracies in the media. At the above-mentioned meeting the government enforced press guidelines for all government ministries and agencies. This indicates that the “News Gathering Guidelines” will effectively restrict the supply of public information for the sake of the administration’s convenience, thereby limiting the citizens’ right to know. A spokesman for the opposition Grand National Party (GNP) said that the Roh administration was overreacting to occasional false reports, and claimed that the new administration’s media policies seem designed to “directly or indirectly seize and tame” the media. He said that the new system looked like it was opening doors, but actually restricted media coverage. The GNP translated the formal name for the new guidelines as the “Public-Relations Operation Plan”. It also warned that restricting office visits and interviews through public relations officers would weaken the function of the press to investigate or criticize. Furthermore, if the interviewed officer must report to the public-relations officer this in effect would mean that all government employees would be unable to talk to the press. And it also makes it impossible for the media to maintain its right of protecting confidential sources. President Roh rejected such accusations when he said, “Public service workers should make decisions on their own”, but he also stated that there should be a “healthy tension between the government and the media”. At the workshop for government spokespersons, President Roh Moo-hyun said that the power of the media was “extremely dangerous” and that the media’s power structure is extremely concentrated. He also said those who execute the power are never investigated or audited by the public. Press officers from the central government agencies also discussed how to cope with damaging reports in the media, including when to sue for libel. The government intends to consider filing civil and criminal suits when necessary, in addition to demanding the publication of corrrections. The press officers heard a special lecture on “Procedures for and Methods of Remedying Damage Caused by Press Reports” given by an attorney-at-law. Unfortunately, this media situation has some additional “unpleasant” perspectives: * The nomination of a new chief at the state-funded television network KBS. At the end of March, the network’s union came out against the appointment of Seo Dong-ku as new president of the network, since he was a former media counsel of President Roh Moo-hyun’s presidential campaign. The union foresaw “a problem with political neutrality”. * The activities of political movements under the guise of civic movements. The supporters club of President Roh Moo-hyun, called “Nosamo” (People Who Love Roh Moo-hyun), sought an alliance with another organisation, called “Choase” (A Beautiful World Without the Chosun Ilbo Newspaper). One of the manifestos of this group reads: “Because an attack on a number of dailies would be ineffective, we consented to what is called ‘killing only one’.” Two cult figures of the groups, the actors Myung Gye-nam and Moon Song-gun, have now initiated another organisation, an Internet civic movement, called “The People’s Strength”, a self-styled politics network declared as “an organization of warriors formed with genuine membership”. A hard-core group of these organisations has now created what they call “a gangster media destruction team”. The media companies they want to see toppled are the main independent dailies, the Chosun Ilbo, the DongA Ilbo and the JoongAng Ilbo. On the surface they say it is because these newspapers distort the truth, but their real reason is that these newspapers are too influential and not pro-government. They organise boycotts of interviews, discourage people from subscribing and try to initiate advertising boycotts. On 1 March 2003, approximately 200 members of these groups dragged a large crane to the front gate of the Independence Hall Museum in Cheonan and made a show of trying to drag out the antique rotary press machine of the Chosun Ilbo, while shouting slogans disparaging the newspaper. Ultimately the pressure exerted by the activists seemed to be too much for the museum and, on 17 March, it was decided that the Chosun Ilbo’s old press machine, which has been housed in the museum since 1987, would be removed because of demands by activists opposed to the daily. Chosun Ilbo wrote in a column, “If you don’t like something in a democratic society, you can ignore it. But if you insist that an idea you don’t like must be crushed, you’re out of line. That’s going way beyond criticism.” International Press Institute (IPI) Spiegelgasse 2/29 A-1010 Vienna Austria Tel: + 431-512 90 11 Fax: + 431-512 90 14 E-mail: ipi@freemedia.at http://www.freemedia.at IPI, the global network of editors, media executives and leading journalists, is dedicated to the furtherance and safeguarding of press freedom, the protection of freedom of opinion and expression, the promotion of the free flow of news and information, and the improvement of the practices of journalism.  나그네(이태원사람): 흐미 뒤북치시네여. 내가 올려놯는데..
