[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The monthly magazine "Good Morning Incheon," published by Incheon City, has won the "Korea Communication Awards" for the fourth consecutive year.

On the 8th, Incheon City announced that it received the Chairman's Award of the National Assembly's Culture, Sports and Tourism Committee in the public sector for printed newsletters at the Communication Awards, hosted by the Korea Association of Newsletters and sponsored by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

Additionally, Jeong Kyungsook, the editor-in-chief of Good Morning Incheon, received the Planning and Public Relations Award in the meritorious category.

Good Morning Incheon has been recognized for strengthening reader services by discovering fresh content through annual revamps.

Since the beginning of this year, it has introduced voice services for the hearing impaired and video services for younger audiences. From mid-year, it added new sections such as "Searching for Incheon’s Prestigious Schools," "Policy Comics," and "Old Place Names of Incheon," along with changes in editorial design, demonstrating continuous improvement efforts.

Good Morning Incheon began in January 1994 as a monthly magazine named "Naegojang Incheon" and published its 324th issue this month.

This issue features special articles including a review of 2020 by Kim Kwangyong, Director of Incheon City’s Planning Office, and TBN broadcaster Yuk Gaksu, as well as a visit to Incheon High School, the 2020 Bonghwangdae Cup winning team, with baseball player Im Hogyun.

An official from Incheon City stated, "It is rare for local governments or companies to win for four consecutive years," and added, "We will continue to strive to deliver useful information to citizens in an engaging way."

Meanwhile, the "Korea Communication Awards," celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, is the only communication awards ceremony in Korea that honors communication and journalism media published by government agencies and public and private enterprises.
