  "full_text": "IRE recently conducted investigative and computer-assisted reporting training for two of South Korea's leading news organizations.\n\nIn late October, Database Library Director Jeff Porter led sessions for the Korean Broadcasting System, the country's largest television network. In Suwon, 22 journalists attended classes in Excel and Access and learned about investigative reporting techniques. At the KBS headquarters in Seoul, reporters and producers heard presentations on using databases, mapping and social network analysis for stories.\n\nThe Chosun Ilbo, South Korea's largest daily newspaper with a circulation of more than 2 million, hosted David Donald, IRE training director, for four days in early August.\n\nChosun is starting an investigative reporting program and IRE was tapped to help get it started. Donald trained journalists in investigative and computer-assisted reporting. He also worked with other Chosun editors to put together an investigative team.\n\nAccording to Donald, South Korea does not have a long tradition of investigative reporting. CAR has gained popularity only during the past few years.",
