Hankyoreh (Eng. "One Nation" or "Korea's Origin") is a South Korean newspaper . It was founded on May 15, 1988 as part of the South Korean democracy movement and is now the fourth largest newspaper in Korea. It was mainly founded by journalists from the major South Korean media who were fired for political reasons during the 1970s and 1980s. Unlike the three largest South Korean newspapers, it does not belong to a large company, but to the employees and thousands of citizens who hold shares. Over 200 former employees of other newspapers were among the founders. There are over 60,000 shareholders. The circulation in 2011 was over 500,000. Yang Sang-woo is the President and CEO of the Hankyoreh Media Group . Hankyoreh is a partner in the Korean edition of the Huffington Post .
A weekly magazine appears with Hankyoreh21 . The publisher also publishes South Korea's largest film magazine, Cine21 . A business magazine is also published. With The Hankyoreh , there is an English-language online edition.
Their political stance is considered left-liberal, unlike the three largest newspapers ( Chosun Ilbo , Dong-a Ilbo and JoongAng Ilbo ), which are considered conservative.
