Since its inception in 1953 to serve as "Korea's window to the world," Herald Media has been a pioneer and a leader in Korea's knowledge-information industries.

Specializing in media and education, Herald Media boasts unrivaled nationwide influence. In media, Herald Media publishes two daily newspapers: The Korea Herald - Korea's no.1 English-language newspaper, and The Herald Business - a leading Korean-language business and entertainment daily. In education, the Company operates a "lifetime language education network" from childhood to adulthood with two in-house language institutes and three subsidiaries. In addition, Herald Media is involved in a variety of strategic businesses. It is a premier producer of outsourced newsletters, including Korea Now, The Stars & Stripes and The Official Gazette. Herald Media also offers printing, translation, and special projects services.

Celebrating its 50th anniversary, Herald Media introduced groundbreaking changes to its publications and education services. The Korea Herald implemented a significant upgrade that affected both the level and the focus of coverage. The Naeway Economic Daily, a leading business daily for 30 years, was renamed The Herald Business and became the nation's first "fusion newspaper" combining business and entertainment.

Herald Media also completed its education network by acquiring a majority control of Herald Schools Inc. - a network of language education centers for children; founding Herald Education Inc. - a full-service language institute in the Kangnam region; and launching Digital Herald Inc. - a digital language education service provider.

Herald Media has a proud tradition and an unmatched brand power in media and education. Setting its sight on a wider horizon, however, the company is undertaking a historical transformation from Korea's premier media company to a leading knowledge-information powerhouse in East Asia.
