김종철 방미통위원장 “방발기금 재원 구조 전면 손질”…하반기 미발위 출범 주력

Korea's establishment of a Media Development Committee marks a strategic restructuring of media policy aimed at ensuring financial sustainability of traditional broadcasting while fairly integrating digital platforms into the regulatory framework. Key initiatives including Broadcasting Fund restructuring, in-app payment regulation, and media vouchers reflect a broader commitment to treating media access as a basic public right. The government's intent to regulate OTT platforms through incentives rather than discrimination signals a pragmatic approach to globalization and digital competition in the media sector.
