The Internet Newspaper Ethics Committee (hereinafter Inshinyunwi) said on the 8th that it will hold the "2025 basic training for new internet newspaper reporters" at the Korea Press Foundation (KPF) Media Education Center from the 20th to the 21st.

The basic training for new reporters is a practical course run directly by Inshinyunwi and is held three times a year jointly with the Korea Press Foundation (KPF). The basic training for new internet newspaper reporters targets internet newspaper reporters with less than one year at the company and focuses on core competencies that can be applied on the ground right away, such as article writing, reporting ethics, and use of artificial intelligence (AI).
