A forum has been held in Seoul to enhance the nation's emergency broadcasting system, Arirang reports.
The meeting follows the earthquake in Japan, which highlighted the need for a media equipped for national emergencies or natural disasters.
Panelists from major broadcasters and government agencies discussed ways to better prepare the media, while the leader of the forum, law professor Ji Sung-woo of Dankook University, urged the national broadcasters to establish detailed emergency guidelines, referring to Japan's NHK as an example.
Professor Ji also said that the media must provide accurate and objective information to the public, and protect the rights of victims in disaster.
