The Broadcasting Media Communications Committee will strengthen its response to false information and online illegal activities to create a safe broadcasting media communications environment. Additionally, it will promote rational public broadcasting systems, enhance broadcasting review accountability, and ensure media access rights to strengthen media sovereignty. On the 12th, the committee reported its major achievements and future key tasks at the Sejong Government Convention Center.
This report focuses on three major areas and 15 detailed tasks centered on restoring media publicness, enhancing media sovereignty, and establishing a future-oriented digital media ecosystem. The committee plans to minimize social harm caused by online false information through various improvements, including legal and institutional reforms, strengthening public-private cooperation systems, and user education. It will promote a self-regulation recommendation agreement to strengthen the responsibilities of platform operators and expand the consultative body.
The committee will implement a transmission qualification certification system that allows only operators with the capability to prevent illegal spam to enter the mass text transmission market. It will promote the enactment and revision of subordinate laws and notifications under the Information and Communications Network Act to implement fines and confiscation regulations related to illegal spam. By implementing the transmission qualification certification system, it aims to strengthen entry regulations, expel illegal operators, and remove incentives for sending illegal spam through the recovery of unfair profits. It will also strengthen the blocking of illegal information distributed using new technologies such as AI and activate self-regulation by operators.
The committee will promote the activation of the broadcasting media industry through the development of AI technology related to broadcasting media, efficiency in the production process, and strengthening global competitiveness. It will develop technologies that can transform and reconfigure existing content in the media production and editing process, as well as personalized services. By applying AI and digital technology throughout the entire broadcasting content production cycle (planning-production-distribution), it aims to improve production efficiency and support the overseas expansion of domestic broadcasting content companies in connection with overseas markets.
