Seoul, Korea -- The Korean Progressive Network (Jinbonet), the mecca for the internet information movement in South Korea, formally joined the Association of Progressive Communications (APC) on November 3rd.
According to their mission statement, APC "is a global network of non-governmental organisations whose mission is to empower and support organisations, social movements and individuals in and through the use of information and communication technologies to build strategic communities and initiatives for the purpose of making meaningful contributions to equitable human development, social justice, participatory political processes and environmental sustainability."
The foundation of Jinbonet has marked a great milestone in bridging international solidarity between progressive Koreans and the rest of the world.
Jinbonet also has taken the lead in the operation of BASE21, a collective alternative media network created by a coalition of Korean civic-social groups. BASE21's website launched last August of this year.
Jinbonet and APC jointly organized the Asia Internet Rights Conference, held last week in Seoul.
