Hi, Mark.<BR>
I assume you are thinking of "chobo" <SPAN class="tit16 b">조보 [朝報] or official gazette.</SPAN> <BR>
<DIV class=autosourcing-stub>Here is a short, easy NAVER definition in Korean: <A href="http://100.naver.com/100.nhn?docid=138451">http://100.naver.com/100.nhn?docid=138451</A></DIV>
<DIV class=autosourcing-stub>There are many historical references to it. I came across with this a lot in the Miam ilgi where Miam Yu Hui-ch'un specifically copied down some "news" from chobo in his diary. You can find a couple of such examples in the following pdf document. See page 28 and 39 for Korean; 30 and 41 for English.</DIV>

<DIV>Masaharu Shimokawa, a former editor and Korea bureau chief of <EM>Mainichi Shimbun</EM>, gives some clues in an article, "How Japan Covered Korea," that cites <EM>Chosun Shinbo</EM> as the first Japanese newspaper in Korea, founded in Pusan in 1881. The article also mentions papers published after "annexation" of Korea in 1910 in Korean, Japanese and English. This article appears in <EM>Korea Witness: 135 Years of War, Crisis and News in the Land of the Morning Calm</EM>, published a few years ago by EunHaeng NaMu in Seoul and available on amazon and barnesandnoble. (I was co-editor with Choe Sang-Hun.) Mr. Shimokawa has written a number of books and could doubtless point to other sources directly relevant to your topic.</DIV>
<DIV>Hope this helps a little.</DIV>
