About This Book
A story for everyone who dreams of leaving their job!
Dismissed reporter Lee Yong-ma tells the story of her life and dreams to her two sons
“If the media cannot ask questions, democracy will fail.” On October 25, 2017, an unexpected performer appeared at the strike concert 'It's Good to Meet Again, Friends' held at Seoul Plaza led by the MBC headquarters of the National Press Workers' Union (MBC Union). Reporter Lee Yong-ma was fired in 2012 after leading a 170-day strike for fair broadcasting as the public relations director of the MBC union. He, who was diagnosed with terminal peritoneal cancer and was fighting the disease, appeared at the concert despite feeling unwell in order to keep his promise to attend a rally at least once during his strike period. Although he was much more emaciated than before his illness, his bright smile in front of citizens showed that the long struggle to normalize public broadcasting was coming to an end soon.
Reporter Lee Yong-ma's new book, 『You can change the world: This is Yong-ma Lee of MBC News so far』, which speaks of hope without giving in to illness, was published by Changbi. The author left an honest record of the world he lived in and the world that needs to be changed in the future, hoping that his two sons would read it in the future. While calmly explaining the modern history of Korea that he experienced, including the democratization movement, he also addresses the problems of Korean society and the media based on his experience covering various fields such as economy/culture/unification diplomacy/prosecution/politics during his nearly 20 years as a reporter. Analyze with a cool-headed perspective. He also presents a reform plan that must be achieved through the efforts of all citizens in order for the younger generation, including his son, to live in a freer, more equal, and more humane world. This book can be said to be a record of the author's life itself based on the belief that 'the world can be changed for the better.'
