One of world's biggest global news blogs "Global Voice" recently illuminated the controversial 2012 presidential election in Korea, sources reported on Sunday.

According to an online network JeongSangChu (acronym for pursuit of justice and common sense), the blog recently posted three related news in four days starting Nov. 25.

The latest news posted on Thursday was "South Korea: A Thousand Buddhist Monks Join Protests Against Election Manipulation," which reported the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism following the path of Catholic priests' mass candlelight vigils demanding President Park Geun-hye step down.

Earlier on the same day, the blog posted news entitled "South Korea Retaliates Against Outspoken Catholic Priest with ‘Pro-North' Accusations" which reported on the case of Father Park Chang-sin who held a protest mass against President Park.

The news was referenced as a news topic to the world's biggest online news community Topix, and also linked to The New York Times.

Both pieces included photo news written by a Korean citizen journalist known as "mediamongu."

The blog previously posted news entitled "South Korea's Spy Agency, Military Sent 24.2 Million Tweets to Manipulate Election" on last Monday.

Including photo news by another Korean citizen journalist known as "Kim Sang-ho," it reported that the election interference was done not by "some maverick spy agents trying to sway public opinion" but "systematically and on a massive scale" by the National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the Defense Ministry's Cyberwarfare Command.

Based in the Netherlands, Global Voice is a non-governmental organization that collects photos and articles on current global issues in different countries neglected by popular English-based news corporations.

The news feeds sent by volunteering citizen journalists and bloggers across the world are screened by the group's news specialists and then translated into 30 different languages.

The blog is currently supported by global news providers like Reuters and the MacArthur Foundation.


최대 언론블로그 '한국대선부정’ 보도

세계 최대의 블로그뉴스 ‘글로벌 보이스(Global Voice)’가 한국대선 부정사태를 지난 나흘간 3차례나 뉴스로 채택하는 등 외신들의 관련 보도가 확산되고 있다.

온라인시민단체 정상추(정의와 상식을 추구하는 시민네트워크)에 따르면 글로벌 보이스는 28일 ‘1천명의 승려들 선거부정 규탄시위에 합류(South Korea: A Thousand Buddhist Monks Join Protests Against Election Manipulation)’ 제하의 기사에서 “한국 정부가 지난 대선에서 조직적으로 개입한 것이 최근 밝혀지면서 더욱 많은 종교 지도자들이 나서기 시작했다”고 보도했다.

이에 앞서 글로벌 보이스는 ‘한국 정부, 거침없이 비판하는 가톨릭 신부 종북몰이 보복(South Korea Retaliates Against Outspoken Catholic Priest with ‘Pro-North’ Accusations)’ 기사에서 “한국 정부가 대규모 온라인 선거조작에 대통령이 책임지고 사퇴하라고 발언한 저명한 가톨릭 신부의 북한 발언을 이유로 수사에 들어갔다”고 보도했다.

또 25일에는 ‘한국 국정원과 군, 선거 조작 위해 2420만 개의 트윗 유포(South Korea‘s Spy Agency, Military Sent 24.2 Million Tweets to Manipulate Election)’ 기사에서 “국정원의 선거개입이 그저 몇몇 비양심적인 국정원 요원들이 여론을 좌지우지하려고 저지른 것이라고 보기엔 지나치게 거대한 양상을 보이고 있다”고 지적했다.

네덜란드에 본부를 둔 비영리기관 글로벌 보이스는 세계의 수많은 블로거와 번역가, 시민기자들이 전하는 뉴스와 사진, 동영상들을 자체적인 국제전문가 팀이 선별해 서비스하고 있다.
