Hello, I am Lee Byung-no.

In the realm of global democracy, the only institution that does not exist in our country is the School of Journalism. The Korean Journalist University Education Center, which is an extension of that university, has been registered as Lifelong Education Center No. 125. It is being operated with a brand name from the Korea Citizen Journalist Association.

The current time urgently demands change and innovation in the 'Journalist Education Center.'

For the past 15 years, the Korea Citizen Journalist Association has been promoting public journalism for the development of Korean-style democracy.

We will work together to establish a graduate school of the Korean Journalist University as soon as possible, to cultivate upright journalists and to ensure that citizens become the main agents of the media in a fair society.

Although we have struggled on the barren land of our nation, promising a bountiful harvest of honest journalism, it has been a challenging time to maintain our conscience under difficult and inadequate conditions.

Starting this year, we aim to activate a nationwide organization that acts with integrity and purpose, while taking on the role of promoting a beautiful democracy. We will do our utmost to ensure that the efforts of awakened citizens, however small, come together to foster change and allow our country to develop into a fair democratic powerhouse.

We will grow together to make the National Professors Association a great hope for the development of beautiful democracy.
