New, interesting, or unusual items learned

SBS is the largest private broadcaster in South Korea, and is owned by the Taeyoung Construction. Unlike KBS and EBS, which are owned by the South Korea government, and MBC, which is owned by the Foundation for Broadcast Culture, SBS is not a public broadcaster. SBS was originally a regional broadcaster, with its signal limited to Seoul. However, following the immense popularity of the drama Sandglass(모래시계) in 1995, other regional broadcasters competed to acquire the rights to SBS programs. Consequently, SBS was eventually able to expand its broadcast coverage nationwide.


Question, concern, or discussion angle

SBS has served as the exclusive broadcaster of major international sporting events such as the Olympics, the Asian Games, and the FIFA World Cup. The broadcasting rights were purchased by SBS and then resold to KBS and MBC. However, the Olympic broadcasting rights are scheduled to be transferred to JTBC starting in 2026, while the rights to the Asian Games have been held by SPOTV since 2022. 

Is it appropriate for privately-owned broadcasters such as SBS and JTBC to hold exclusive broadcasting rights to major international sports competitions? What about those who cannot afford to access pay television services? Should priority in the allocation of sports broadcasting rights be granted to public broadcasters such as KBS and MBC?

    Giving exclusive broadcasting rights to private networks like SBS and JTBC raises concerns about equal access. Major sporting events are of national interest and should be available to all citizens. Public broadcasters like KBS and MBC could ensure broader, free access to these events. Prioritizing them for such rights may better serve public interest. Still, fair competition and financial sustainability must also be considered.

Introduction to the blog

This blog is a digital forum where students from Collective Intelligence in Practice: Understanding Wikipedia at the Hanyang University in Korea (2025) will discuss their weekly readings and activities. Each week you are expected to post a blog post on our blog and make a comment on another student's post. You can do so on one of the following three topics: a) You can blog about the readings for the next week. As you are expected to do the assigned readings FOR the lectures they are assigned to, you are expected to post your blog and comments BEFORE that lecture. An ideal commentary should be about half a page in length (~200 words), divided into three clearly labeled sections in which you: 1) summarize in your own words of materials you read; 2) mention any new, interesting, or unusual items learned; 3) identify at least one question, concern, or discussion angle that is either problematic in some respect or could have been elaborated more. This question is likely to be incor...

Week 1. My Recent Wikipedia Edits - Jeong seolah (정설아)

I made several edits to the Wikipedia page for 'Daegu'.  Daegu, located in the southeastern part of South Korea, is the third-largest urban area in the country, following Seoul and Busan. With a population exceeding 2.3 million, it is the fourth-largest metropolitan city in South Korea and the second-largest in the Yeongnam region after Busan. Often referred to together with the surrounding North Gyeongsang Province as Daegu-Gyeongbuk, this region is home to over 5 million residents. Known for its rich history and vibrant economy, Daegu stands as a key player in South Korea's cultural and industrial landscape. Below is a summary of the changes I contributed. 1) Summarize and link Sights Section:  - Improved clarity by changing “mountains keep many traditional temples” to “the mountains keep many traditional temples.” Mosque Controversy Section:  - Simplified a sentence by removing “and of the authorities.” Festivals Section:  - Made phrasing smoother by changing “tho...

Week4 - Review about the readings for the next week. - Jo HyeonSeong (조현성)

 1. Summarize in my own words of materials. The book is primarily about the openness of Wikipedia. Openness means that anyone can participate in the creation and editing of articles without any qualifications. Openness can be a double-edged sword. While it means that you can edit without having expert knowledge of a topic, it also means that you can participate even if you have expert knowledge. For experts, articles written by non-experts can come across as inaccurate knowledge, which can anger experts. This anger can also be a catalyst for Wikipedia to continue to improve. However, articles edited only by non-experts can cause misunderstandings and convey incorrect information, so openness can be considered a double-edged sword. In fact, it sometimes causes some conflict, such as Wales' negative stance. Openness also means freedom from copyright, which means anyone can take it and use it anywhere. That is why the knowledge of non-experts can have greater impact. That is why appro...
