Gwangju News

It covers events and news in Gwangju and the larger South Jeolla Province area with an emphasis on international residents and English-speaking communities.

The next step in the evolution of GN was the establishment of the Kwangju Centre for International Visitors (KCIV) in June 1999,[2] which distributed a short newsletter in both English and Korean to its members.

In addition, GN started using recycled paper for the print version of the magazine in February 2009, but had to abandon the practice due to financial considerations.

[4] One of the main reasons Gwangju News magazine is able to distribute 4000 copies a month free of charge is that it is produced on a minimal budget made possible by the efforts of volunteer staff.

The GIC membership fees help to fund the publication of GN magazine, in addition to revenue from advertisers.
