SFCC Statement
March 16, 2019
The Seoul Foreign Correspondents¡¯ Club expresses its grave concern over the ruling Democratic party's statement singling out a Bloomberg reporter for her coverage of the President, which has resulted in serious threats to her personal safety.
It is disturbing for any politician to accuse any journalist of treason – a criminal offence - for reporting on matters of public interest or voicing an opinion. This is a form of censorship and journalistically chilling. Questions or complaints regarding an article should be raised with the publication in question rather than personally and publicly targeting a reporter.
South Korea underwent a long struggle to achieve full democracy and the SFCC calls on politicians on all sides to respect the right to freedom of expression and freedom of the press.
The accusations against the reporter remain on the Democratic party's website, sustaining the threats against her, and should be taken down.
