Roh to hold TV debate with journalists over pressroom shutdown

SEOUL, June 11 (Yonhap) -- President Roh Moo-hyun is scheduled to hold a live TV debate with senior journalists on Thursday over his government's latest decision to close almost all government-office pressrooms in August, presidential spokesman Cheon Ho-seon said Monday.

"The pressroom reform debate between the president and local journalists will likely take place on Thursday, though details of the event, including the list of media-side participants, have yet to be fixed," Cheon said.
