Korea Herald
South KoreaThe Korea Herald is an English-language daily newspaper based in Seoul, founded in 1953. Its reporting centres overwhelmingly on South Korea, with the United States a distant second, followed by China, Iran and North Korea. Economy leads, ahead of diplomacy and technology. Its headlines are broadly favourable toward South Korea and its companies, and mostly neutral toward the United States.
Political leaning and stance
The Korea Herald is broadly favourable toward South Korea, foregrounding corporate wins, innovation and global recognition and quoting the president's initiatives without distancing, with setbacks such as strikes or falling profits reported without hostility. The United States is covered neutrally, with occasional critical framing, and read skeptical toward the end of the period, when US policy moves affecting the alliance drew attention. Few other entities are measured often enough to show a settled tone. The stance is measured from headlines toward countries and persons; it is not a rating of accuracy.
