“How Is This Press Control?”

At the Culture and Tourism Committee held at the National Assembly on August 24, as Grand National Party Assemblyman Shim Jae-chul holds up a paper reading “Smash Press Oppression” in protest against the government’s “plan to reform the news coverage system,” Assemblyman Jung Chung-rae of the United New Democratic Party (right) urges him to take off the paper, which hinders the smooth progress of the meeting.
