Yesterday, NAVER.COM launched a new service that shows newspaper articles of the past. Korean language readers can see past articles of three newspapers Kyounghyang Newspaper (경향신문), Dong-A Ilbo (동아일보), Maeil Business Newspaper (매일경제). Chinese and Japanese language readers can also understand general meanings of articles published before the mid-1990s when the use of the Chinese Characters rapidly decreased in Korean newspapers. This new service will be very helpful for the research of modern Korean history.

Newspaper articles since January 1st, 1976 are available. Newspaper articles since the 1920s will soon be available.
