The Hankyoreh (Korean: 한겨레, lit. 'The Korean Nation' or 'One Nation'[3]) is a centre-left[10] liberal[15] daily newspaper in South Korea. It was established in 1988 after widespread purges forced out dissident journalists, and was envisioned as an alternative to existing newspapers, which were regarded as unduly influenced by the authoritarian government at the time.[16] When it launched, it claimed to be "the first newspaper in the world truly independent of political power and large capital."[17] As of 2016, it has been voted as the most trusted news organization by Korean journalists for nine consecutive years but also it is the least influential news outlet by the survey.[18] It has online editions in English,[19] Chinese,[20] and Japanese.[21]
