Bringing Lively Stories of Everyday Life to the Community

For citizens in Changwon who aspire to become reporters sharing the stories of everyday life, this could be a great opportunity to take on the challenge.

Changwon City, Gyeongsangnam-do is recruiting citizen reporters to contribute to its municipal newsletter, "Changwon Sibo."

"Changwon Sibo," which was first published in 1993, is a governmental newsletter released twice a month, with 230,000 copies distributed each issue throughout the region. The production of Changwon Sibo involves 30 citizen reporters.

This recruitment is taking place due to the expiration of the appointments of currently active citizen reporters. Applications will be accepted from August 3 to August 14.

Any citizen aged 13 or older (middle school students and above) who is a resident of Changwon and possesses basic writing skills and an interest in the local community is eligible to apply. To participate, applicants can download an application form from the city's website, choose a free topic related to Changwon, write an article, and submit it.

The city will establish its own evaluation committee to select and appoint a final group of 30 citizen reporters by the end of August. The activity period for those selected is two years, from September 19, 2026 to September 18, 2028. Although the position is unpaid and honorary, contributors will receive a predetermined fee if their articles are published in the newsletter.

For more detailed inquiries regarding this recruitment, contact the Public Relations Officer of Changwon City or the editorial office of Changwon Sibo.

Seongun Lim, Public Relations Officer, stated, "It is just as important to share the stories of life from a citizen's perspective as it is to communicate municipal affairs through Changwon Sibo," and added, "We will strive to vividly convey the message of 'Citizens First, Happy Changwon' together with our citizen reporters."
