Gwangju News was first established in 2001 as Korea’s first local English magazine with a multicultural perspective. Since its first publication, Gwangju News has been providing information helpful to foreign visitors and residents in Gwangju, thus equipping them with deeper understanding and practical knowledge of Gwangju and the Jeollanam-do area. Many Korean and international writers/reporters collaborate in putting together each issue of Gwangju News, released monthly. Gwangju News not only takes a role as an information provider for foreigners, but also promotes Gwangju citizens’ awareness of globalization.
