Abstract
This paper attempts to illustrate some of the problems faced by the news media in reporting on the environment in S. Korea. Lack of trained journalists specialized in environmental reporting is one drawback. Others include the lack of co-operation and thorough in-depth investigation and news analysis. According to a report, sustaining S. Korea’s economic growth would be impossible without resolving environmental problems.
