[KS] Choson-era broadsheets

[don kirk]

Masaharu Shimokawa, a former editor and Korea bureau chief of Mainichi Shimbun, 
gives some clues in an article, "How Japan Covered Korea," that cites Chosun 
Shinbo 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 Korea Witness: 135 Years 
of War, Crisis and News in the Land of the Morning Calm, 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.
Hope this helps a little.

Subject: [KS] Choson-era broadsheets

Dear list members,

I am interested in information regarding
Choson-era early modern media, particularly whether
there existed in Korea broadsheets that
predated the first newspapers. I remember
reading something about this but cannot seem
to locate the source. Any information, including their
Korean name, would be of great help.

Thanks in advance.
