News Rankie CEO Choi Shin-young stressed that News Rankie will play a pivotal role in protecting the rights and interests of its members as a helper rather than directly running the corporation.

Taking this meeting as an opportunity, News Ranki plans to push for the need to form a group raised at the "News Ranki Future Strategy Seminar" held in December 2024. The formation of a corporation will be officially made official through a national competition scheduled for May, and the national competition is expected to be an important foothold for expanding the network of member companies and strengthening cooperation.

In particular, the promoter competition is likely to be held at the National Assembly, and through this, it will lay the official foundation as a media organization and use it as an opportunity to strengthen public confidence and independence of the media.

In his closing remarks, Chairman Han Sang-hee stressed the importance of the organization, saying, "News Ranki is not at the stage of realizing the requests of all member companies, but we will seek a direction for the media industry through cooperation and co-prosperity."

This meeting of the organizing committee is considered as the first step to strengthen cooperation with the media and establish an independent media environment away from the dependency of large portals. Through close communication with member companies, News Ranki plans to protect the rights and interests of journalists and create a sustainable media ecosystem.
