[KS] Choson-era broadsheets

[Sunjoo Kim]

Hi, Mark.
I assume you are thinking of "chobo" 조보 [朝報] or official gazette.  
Here is a short, easy NAVER definition in Korean: http://100.naver.com/100.nhn?docid=138451
There are many historical references to it.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.

Michael Kim (Yonsei) does research on early publishing in Korea. This article (which I read a several years ago and can't remember properly) should touch on your topic and have a useful bibliography to mine for more sources:
"Literary Production, Circulating Libraries, and Private Publishing: The Popular Reception of Vernacular Fiction Texts in the Late Choson Dynasty," Journal of Korean Studies, volume 9, Nov.2004, Stanford University
Professor Kim certainly taught several classes related to information circulation, broadsheets and early newspapers in Korea when I had a class with him in 2005.

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.

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.
