Yonhap News Agency is South Korea's largest news agency. It is a publicly funded company, based in Seoul, South Korea. Yonhap provides news articles, pictures and other information to newspapers, TV networks and other media in South Korea.
Yonhap (meaning "united" in Korean) was established on December 19, 1980, through the merger of Hapdong News Agency and Orient Press. It maintains various agreements with 78 non-Korean news agencies, and also has a services-exchange agreement with North Korea's Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) agency, signed in 2002. It is the only Korean wire service that works with foreign news agencies, and provides a limited, but freely available, selection of news on its website in Korean, English, Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Arabic and French.
Yonhap was the host news agency of the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics, and was elected twice to the board of the Organization of Asia-Pacific News Agencies (OANA).
Yonhap is South Korea's only news agency large enough to have more than 60 correspondents abroad and 580 reporters across the nation. Its largest shareholder is the Korea News Agency Commission (KONAC).
A news agency is an organization that gathers news reports and sells them to subscribing news organizations, such as newspapers, magazines and radio and television broadcasters. A news agency may also be referred to as a wire service, newswire, or news service.
There are many news agencies around the world, but there are global news agencies with offices in most countries of the world and cover all areas of information: Agence France-Presse, Associated Press and Reuters. All three began with and continue to operate on a basic philosophy of providing a single objective news feed to all subscribers; they do not provide separate feeds for conservative or liberal newspapers. Jonathan Fenby explains the philosophy:
Only a few large newspapers could afford bureaus outside their home city. They relied instead on news agencies, especially Havas in France and the Associated Press in the United States. Former Havas employees founded Reuters in Britain and Wolff in Germany; Havas is now Agence France-Presse (AFP). For international news, the agencies pooled their resources, so that Havas, for example, covered the French Empire, South America and the Balkans and shared the news with the other national agencies. In France the typical contract with Havas provided a provincial newspaper with 1800 lines of telegraphed text daily, for an annual subscription rate of 10,000 francs. Other agencies provided features and fiction for their subscribers.
South Korean news agency Yonhap reported on Thursday that one or two intermediate-range ballistic missiles have been deployed by North Korea on the east coast. Musudan missiles were spotted on a mobile launcher being deployed by the North, according to South Korean government sources cited by Yonhap.

이준석 선장 살인죄 인정…항소심 무기징역 [광주전남] [지방시대] [앵커] 304명이 희생된 세월호의 이준석 선장이 항소심에서 무기징역을 선고받았습니다. 법원은 1심과 달리 이 선장이 퇴선명령을 하지 않아 살인 혐의에 유죄가 인정된다고 판단해 더 무거운 양형을 선고했습니다. 장아름 기자가 보도합니다. [기자] 항소심 재판부는 이준석 선장이 세월호 승객들이 사망할 수 있음을 알고도 퇴선명령을 내리지 않고 자신만 도망쳐 나온 것으로 판단했습니다. [전일호 / 광주고법 공보판사] "선장과 선원들이 탈출하는 순간에도 대기하라는 안내방송이 나온 점, 퇴선방송 지시에 수반하는 조치가 아무 것도 이뤄지지 않은 점 등을 근거로 퇴선방송을 하지 않은 채 탈출한 것으로 인정하고 이준석 선장에게 살인의 미필적 고의가 있다고 판단했습니다." 광주고법은 오늘 이 선장 등 세월호 승무원 15명과 청해진해운에 대한 항소심에서 이 선장에게 징역 36년을 선고했던 원심을 파기하고 무기징역을 선고했습니다. 반면 승무원 14명은 모두 1심보다 감형된 징역 1년6개월에서 12년을 각각 선고받았습니다. 1등 항해사와 기관장 등 3명에 대한 승객 또는 동료 살인 혐의 역시 무죄로 판결했습니다. 세월호 희생자 가족들은 이 선장의 살인혐의가 유죄로 판명된 것은 다행이나 전반적인 판결에 대해 실망스럽다는 반응을 나타냈습니다. [조순애 / 4·16 가족협의회] "타인의 생명을 지킬 의무가 있는 자가 의무를 저버리고 자기 목숨을 구하기 위하여 수백명의 사람들을 희생시켰을 때 결국 자신의 생...
