Park Chang-hee, publisher and CEO of the JoongAng Ilbo, has been appointed as the 50th president of the Korean Association of Newspapers.
The Korean Association of Newspapers elected Park as its new president during its 64th general meeting and board meeting held on Friday at the Korea Press Center in central Seoul, the association said Sunday.
A total of 23 new executives were also elected, including 21 board members and two auditors, during the general meeting. Their terms will run until the 2028 general meeting.
Park graduated from Seoul National University with a degree in political science and has held various positions at the JoongAng Ilbo, including head of the management planning division, executive vice president in charge of overall management and vice president. Park also served as president and CEO of the Korea JoongAng Daily and JoongAng M&P, and as vice president of the Korean Association of Newspapers.
“I will regularly listen to the opinions of publishers from the 54 member companies and actively reflect them in the association’s operations to enhance the association’s status and protect its members’ rights and interests,” Park said.
