[Asia Economy Reporter Seomideum] The Korea Press Foundation will hold the '2022 Journalism Week' event at the Korea Press Center until the 11th of next month. 'Journalism Week' is the only journalism event in Korea where the media and citizens communicate.

This year's theme is ‘Journalism ON&OFF’. The media and citizens will participate together in the front yard of the Korea Press Center Seoul, the international conference hall, the Foundation's YouTube channel, and the metaverse: ‘2022 Journalism Week Town’.

In the front yard of the Press Center Seoul, an exhibition and various journalism experience events will welcome citizens. The planned exhibition, ‘Exhibiting Unpublished Newspapers,’ where four photographers convey a word they could not say to their sources through photos, will run until the 11th of next month.

Journalism experience events with citizens include making your own newspaper to deliver ▲the most memorable issue of the year with a media instructor ▲a news anchor experience with TikTok to quickly and surely learn the concept of digital media literacy by competing against an announcer ▲the 2022 Journalism Week Prompter Challenge, where you can vividly feel the reporting scene in the article right before your eyes ▲and a VR news experience, all running until the 6th of next month.

The metaverse ‘2022 Journalism Week Town,’ unveiled for the first time, is planned around the theme of experiencing the present (ON) and past (OFF) of Journalism Week in an online virtual space and the future of journalism (ON&OFF). You can experience this year’s programs (Live conference hall, online planned exhibition) as well as contents from past 'Journalism Week' events (online journalism cinema, online exhibition Extra Extra, history of government advertisements, etc.) all at once.

On the 20th floor international conference hall of the Korea Press Center, the 4th Youth Checkathon competition will be held on the 4th of next month. From the 9th to the 11th of next month, the ‘KPF Journalism Conference: Trust ON, Prejudice OFF,’ citizen participation sessions, and media literacy sessions will take place.
