In 2012, the Commission reviewed the performance of compliance with the Guidelines, and found that television programs, which have a great social influence, needed to pay more attention to preventing expressions of racial discrimination. As such, the Commission formed the Monitoring Group of Television Programs in 2013. The Monitoring Group reviewed a total of 35 television programs of four ground wave broadcasting companies and four general programming channels for five months. The programs covered news, culture, entertainment, featured program on migrants, etc. The findings of monitoring showed that there had been considerable problems such as fostering racial and cultural prejudice against foreigners, imposing Korean culture, and using discriminatory expressions. The Commission, in this regard, issued recommendations, on November 21, to the CEOs of the eight above-stated broadcasting companies and to the Chairperson of the Korea Communications Standards Commission. In detail, the Commission recommended the broadcasting companies to take action to prevent discriminatory expression from being aired, and to come up with preventive measures. The Commission asked the Chairperson of the Korea Communications Standards Commission to pay more attention to the examination of television programs in order to see if they have discriminatory expressions against migrants and foreigners. 54 ▪▪▪ Part II.
