Free newspapers are remarkable not only for the new business models they represent but also for their readership. They started as free commuter tabloids when existing newspapers were still pay-basis or when the paid newspapers were closed down. In Korea, it was in 2002 when free newspapers began to be distributed through transportations. In 2005, there were 9 free newspapers in Korea with the total circulation at 2.7 million. Most Korean free newspapers are published as tabloids or magazines. Seoul Metro and AM7 are smaller in volume with only 32 to 40 pages, while Daily Focus has up to 56 pages. Many readers of free newspapers are so-called 'new readers', who are young and did not read any newspapers in the past. Free newspapers highly depend on advertising revenues. In Korea's newspaper market, as for advertising, free newspapers at first had low intake levels. However, they have grown both in terms of volumes and shares of revenue. Free newspapers may hurt sales of traditional newspapers, weakening their existing standing in the market.

1959年1月、日本初の教育専門局として開局したNHK東京教育テレビジョンは2019年で60年を迎える。当初は学校放送番組や語学番組などの講座番組が中心であったが、1980年代には社会全体が生涯学習を志向するようになったこともあり、子ども向け番組や、社会人そして高齢者を対象とした番組が増え、90年代からは「ゾーン編成」が取り入れられる。2000年代になると、さらに多様な番組を展開するとともに学校放送番組や趣味実用番組を中心に、インターネットへの展開を積極的に進める。2009年、教育テレビ開局50年には「ETV50 学ぶ冒険」をテーマに特別番組やイベントを開催。2011年には「Eテレ」という愛称を採用、「未来を志向するチャンネル」として番組を改変、2017年からは「みつかるEテレ」をキャッチコピーとして、さまざまなキャンペーンやイベントを展開している。本稿では教育テレビ60年の歴史を、各年度の「国内放送番組編集の基本計画」と放送番組時刻表を基に、NHK放送文化研究所の調査や論考、教育テレビ開局周年記念番組の内容などを参照しながらみていく。

Ever since he won the Federal elections on 24 November 2007, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd has managed to keep an extraordinary level of electoral support. Considering the fact that Rudd is not particularly endowed with burning charisma, the secret of his success must be lying with the way he has handled various aspects of politics. This paper pays particular attention to Rudd's modus operandi, that is how and why the Rudd government takes particular set of policies. My hypothesis is that there are three-fold principles in the Rudd government's modus operandi. First, Rudd has made every effort to implement election promises. One of the reasons for his persistent popularity is said to be that voters associate Rudd with "integrity" because of his commitment to election promises. Second, as he has referred policy matters to more than 140 committees, his prime mode of operation is so-called "evidence-based approach". This paper analyses three cases, the education policy, the Rudd government's approach to the Howard-initiated intervention into Aboriginal communities in the Northern Territory and Industrial Relations and its relationship with the union movement. These three cases indicate that the evidence-based approach can be a good and effective policy making as well as politically astute move by dampening over-enthusiastic expectations from its supporters. Third, this rather cautious approach favoured by the government's earlier stage appears to be cast aside by the advent of the Global Financial Crisis. As the crisis demanded governments to make decisive and timely actions quickly, the Rudd government has abandoned the evidence-based approach temporarily, and introduced policies based on Rudd's and the ALP's social democratic ideology. The Rudd government has introduced large spending initiatives including direct payment to low to middle-income earners and massive infrastructure programmes. These programmes, as well as the end of mining boom, erosion of tax base and massive expansion of so-called "middle class welfare" under the Howard government turned the federal budget from A $20 billion surplus to A $57.6 billion deficit. However, unique among advanced economies, Australia has so far managed to avoid plunging into recession. The Australian Labor Party has long been seen as having an unfortunate habit of winning the office just when the World Wars were fought, the Great Depression started or the OPEC nations increased price of petroleum by four-fold. From the cursory look, the Rudd government may be seen as following this pattern as the Global Financial Crisis just wiped out serendipitous export earning from the mining boom. But in fact this is the blessing in disguise as it has enabled the Rudd government to implement programmes based on its long-held ideology of social democracy.
