‘Jeonnam Sicheongja Media Center’ to Open in Yeosu City

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Yoon Jamin] The 'Jeonnam Viewer Media Center' will be established in Yeosu City, Jeonnam.

According to Jeonnam Province on the 16th, the 'Jeonnam Viewer Media Center' submitted by Jeonnam Province was selected in the '2020 Viewer Media Center Construction City Contest' project promoted by the Korea Communications Commission.

The newly selected 'Jeonnam Viewer Media Center' will be newly constructed and opened in 2023 on the site of Munsu Government Building in Yeosu City, with a total project cost of 17 billion KRW including 5 billion KRW in national funding, consisting of one basement floor and four above-ground floors (exclusive area 2,278㎡).

Operation will be managed by the 'Viewer Media Foundation,' an affiliate organization of the Korea Communications Commission.

The center will include spaces such as a multipurpose public hall, open TV studio, broadcasting production studio, one-person media production room, media experience hall, and education rooms.

Various media experience and education programs (such as planning and producing broadcasting programs, experiencing broadcasting equipment and studios) will be supported here, and for areas with poor accessibility such as island regions and rural fishing villages, a visiting media education program will also be operated.

With the confirmation of this center's construction, it is expected to greatly contribute to responding to the increasing desire for participation in content production and distribution by one-person media creators, and especially to support media education for media-disadvantaged groups such as the disabled, elderly, multicultural families, and rural fishing village residents, as well as to provide opportunities for youth media talent development and creative activities.

Meanwhile, Jeonnam Province expects that once the media center is built, it will enhance residents' media participation and rights, resolve regional imbalances in media education, and expand opportunities to access broadcasting culture. Since last year, Jeonnam Province has been making various efforts to attract the center, including visiting other regional media centers and the Korea Communications Commission together with Yeosu City.
