Voice of journalists: Journalists chant slogans during a strike rally near parliament in Seoul yesterday. Hundreds of journalists from the National Union of Media Workers participated in the rally to demand the ruling Grand National Party stop its attempt to pass a bill to ease broadcasting company ownership by chaebols or conglomerates and rich print media firms.

South Korean opposition MPs said yesterday they would end a sit-in protest at parliament and pass a number of reforms the ruling party says are needed to steer the export-driven economy through the global financial crisis.
