Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) is recruiting the ‘2024 Resident Reporters’ who will vividly deliver on-site news from various parts of the district.

Now in its second year, the Resident Reporters program aims to recruit capable reporters to efficiently promote the projects of the 8th elected administration, provide opportunities for local residents to participate in district publicity, and strengthen two-way communication.

The application period is from the 15th to the 29th. Anyone aged 19 or older who is a resident of Gwangjin-gu or lives, works, or operates a business within the Gwangjin-gu area, and who is interested in local news and capable of writing press releases through on-site coverage, can participate.

This year, a ‘Resident Reporters Board’ will be newly established on the Gwangjin-gu Office website, featuring press releases written by the reporters and photo news capturing scenes from the field, to foster a sense of belonging and pride.

Additionally, selected press releases will be published in local newspapers.

Resident reporters who actively promote key news such as local attractions, festivals and events, and lifestyle information will receive a fixed manuscript fee, and outstanding performers will have opportunities for awards.

Selected resident reporters will be commissioned and issued reporter IDs at an inauguration ceremony, receive training to enhance skills such as writing and photography, and then begin full-scale activities.

Applications can be submitted by downloading the relevant documents from the announcement on the Gwangjin-gu Office website and sending them via email to the person in charge, or by visiting the Public Relations Officer at Gwangjin-gu Office in person.

Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, said, “I want to listen to various stories from the community and always communicate and learn,” adding, “I hope the Resident Reporters will become a communication channel that reflects the voices of the residents.”
